Abstract

In parallel with the increase in population in the world, the demand for animal products is increasing. This increase in demand causes the industrialized of livestock farms. In industrialized farms where intensive breeding methods are applied, calves are separated from their dams immediately after birth and a fed with bottle. Rapid growth of calves is aimed in farms where intensive breeding programs are implemented. Antibiotics have been used for many years to stimulate growth. However, the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has had negative effects on both human and animal health. In addition, consumers’ awareness and pressure on this issue have led to the ban on the use of antibiotics to promote growth and the restriction of their use in treatments. This situation has led researchers to conduct research on the use of alternative feed additives. In recent years, studies have been conducted on the use of probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics, and these studies are continuing. There are differences in information regarding the benefits of probiotics in the first four weeks of life, which is a critical period for calves. This review aims to reveal the effects of probiotics use on the growth and health of calves during the suckling period.
