$\orange{ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -}$

The growing consumption and production of poultry on commercial scale elicits a series of health and environmental concerns. Among them are concerns over bacterial disease as well as the disposal of infected birds. Other concerns are prevention of diseases and ensuring healthy growth of chicken.

Bacterial disease causes multi-billion-dollar economic losses for the livestock industry. It is estimated that Campylobacter and Salmonella infections that are rampant in poultry together account for 9 in 10 reported cases of bacteria-related food poisonings globally. There exists more than 2,000 species of bacteria belonging to Salmonella genus, with almost all of them being potential pathogens of poultry. In fact, a study conducted on eggs in several retail outlets in India found that large amounts of salmonella were present both on the shell and inside the eggs.

Estimates suggest that animal farming uses 70% of all antibiotics used, while only 30% are used directly in humans. In the absence of effective and safe alternative, antibiotics are used to treat and prevent diseases in chickens. The entry of antibiotics in our food chain has far reaching consequences on human and environmental health.

Need for alternatives

However, it is important to underline that banning the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics is not enough. We also need to devise solutions to help farmers grow healthy poultry and prevent bacterial infections through natural mechanisms.

Creating and popularising sustainable solutions is key to the overall health of poultry and human beings.
