ABSTRACT
Over more than six decades, dietary antibodies are used not solely to regulate infectious disease but conjointly to improve growth performance and feed potency. They are accountable for building the immunocompetence of poultry against several
infectious diseases. However, the use of antibiotics as feed additives, in the long run, can lead to the development of bacteria resistant to drugs that are used to treat infections. Later on, they are of potential risk if they are transferred to humans. In‑feed antibiotic (IFA) has played a substantial role in the advancement and prosperity of the poultry industry since its discovery. When antibiotic is administrated, it impacts the entire population of the body. Among the bacteria, some are susceptible to the antibiotics that die, but some bacteria may thrive, and they begin to multiply. Sometimes, these remaining bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics, and many large problems can develop. There exist significant concerns about the use of an IFA, which leads to the development of antimicrobial resistance, creating a potential menace to human health.
