Abstract
The usage of antibiotics resulted in the development of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria and alters the gut microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. These antibiotic residues also pose a potential treat to consumers’ health. Due to health concerns, most of the countries have banned the use of antibiotics in poultry production. Nucleotides play an important role to nearly all biological processes. Nucleotides serve as the fundamental components of DNA and RNA, and are integral to cellular metabolism, functioning as energy carriers (ATP), participating in cell signaling (cAMP) and constituting essential cofactors (NAD+). The predominant feed ingredients possess comparatively low levels of nucleotides. The supplementation of nucleotides in animal feed enhances the overall production efficiency. The application of nucleotides results in superior feed efficiency, bolstered immunity and enhanced gut health, thereby establishing them as a significant alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production.
