Preface
Thecurrentvolumecommunicatesaspectsofbeneficialmicroorganismsinrelation
to agriculture and aquaculture. In agriculture, microorganisms have been proven
useful in a wide array of potential applications ranging from biofertilizers to
increasing crop productivity and from production of biomass and biofuels to
enhancedquality ofpoultry production. Similarlyin aquaculture, microorganisms
have been applied in treatment and purification of wastewater from biofarming,
applications of bioflocculation, and biopreservation of sea harvests. New innova-
tions have also been observed, including the microbial production of surfactants,
colorants,andbiodegradableplastics,allprovidinginsightsoftheunlimitedpoten-

Probiotics in Poultry
SriHarimurtiandWidodoHadisaputro
Abstract Themainpathogensassociatedwithpoultryfarmingandproductionare
various serotypes of Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter
jejuni. These enteric pathogens are the most common causes of diarrhea in the
poultry flock in Indonesia. Their spread is due to poor sanitation and drainage as
well as improper litter management, which all lead to bacterial infection in birds.
Antibiotics have previously been used for many decades by veterinarians and
poultry farmers before they were banned in many countries due to concerns with
increasedantibioticresistanceinpathogensandantibioticcontaminationinfood.In
thesearchforanalternativetoantibioticsinpoultryfeed,theadditionofprobiotics
is proposed. Among all the probiotics utilized in poultry production, lactic acid

increasing the intestinal health of poultry. This chapter discusses the increased

1 Introduction
The main pathogens associated with poultry farming and production are various
serotypes of Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni.
These enteric pathogens are the most common causes of diarrhea in the poultry
flock. Bacterial infection with extraneous pathogens can be avoided when poultry
are reared intensively in good environmentally controlled housing and all appro-
priate biosecurity measures are followed. However, many small-scale farmers in
Indonesia lack the knowledge and skill to deal with biosecurity measures often
resultinginanoutbreakofpathogen-associateddiseaseandthedeathofbirds.The
maincausesofpathogenspreadareduetopoorsanitationanddrainage,aswellas
improper litter management, which all lead to bacterial infection in birds. As a
