Factors such as high stoking density, production, stresses, management challenges, and epidemics of infectious diseases can suppress the immune system, disturb the microbial balance of the gastrointestinal tract, reduce growth performance, and promote the production of harmful microorganisms, toxins, and metabolites in industrial poultry farming. The use of antibiotics can disturb the gastrointestinal microbiota and weaken the immune system, resulting in performance reduction and mortality increment on industrial farms.

Probiotics can be added to the poultry pellet feed, provided that they are produced from strains that are resistant to pelleting temperatures.

Bacilli are heat-resistant bacteria that can produce spores in stressful situations. These spores are also resistant to heat and bile salts. This unique feature of bacilli spores can protect the bacilli bacteria used in the poultry industry against pelleting temperature and bile salts in the gastrointestinal tract. Spores of bacilli can produce vegetative cells for several minutes at temperatures up to 100°C and at a 0.5% concentration of bile salts. It has also been shown that bacilli can combat pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, Streptococcus, and Campylobacter. Additionally, bacilli can improve the general health of animals by neutralizing the aflatoxin present in feed. Since bacilli produce various enzymes, they can increase feed efficiency and economic profit.
