Abstract

Growth promoters are feed additives added in livestock diets to enhance performance and health in poultry. In modern poultry production enterprise, the use of low prophylactic doses of antibiotic to enhance growth as well as gut health has been a standard practice. However, the development of direct antibiotic resistance to pathogens in the animal receiving the diet as well as the indirect resistance to similar antibiotics used by humans as a result of food chain residues led to its ban in poultry production by the European Union in many countries. Therefore, there is great interest in developing natural alternatives to antibiotic growth promoter in order to maintain poultry performance and health. Ginger, one of such comparable natural alternatives, is a perennial herb belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. Ginger is rich in beneficial bioactive compounds and essential oils. This review attempts to discuss the recent studies on the potential benefits of ginger in poultry nutrition and reproduction.
