Abstract

Poultry farming is one of the fastest-growing sectors in India. Poultry immunity, health, and production are the variables that challenge the future growth of the poultry industry. Consumer confidence, product quality and safety, types of products, and the emergence and re-emergence of diseases will continue to be significant challenges to the current situation and the strategic future of the industry. Poultry farming faces substantial challenges related to maintaining high levels of immunity and health among birds, directly impacting production and consumer confidence. The industry must address the emergence and re emergence of diseases to ensure the quality and safety of poultry products for consumers. Foodborne and zoonotic diseases are strictly linked with poultry. Eradication, elimination, or control of foodborne and zoonotic pathogens is extremely important in the poultry industry. Salmonellosis is a common foodborne disease affecting humans and animals. Salmonella's incidence in poultry significantly impacts the economy and growth of poultry farming. In this article, we shed light on the importance of exploring alternative interventions, such as probiotics, to combat antibiotic-resistant Salmonella infections in poultry, enhancing bird health and consumer safety. Implementing strategic measures to reduce Salmonella prevalence improves public health outcomes and contributes to the overall success and resilience of the poultry industry in India. These interventions are primarily used to control antibiotic-resistant Salmonella colonization in poultry food. Effective control of foodborne and zoonotic pathogens like Salmonella is crucial for the economic sustainability and growth of poultry farming in India.
