An analysis of the use of probiotics and acidifiers as an alternative to the use of antibiotics is presented. Poultry production is of great importance due to the great demand of meat to supply the protein needs, the production item can mean up to 78% in costs, there is a tendency to find alternatives to maximize performance, finding as viable options products such as prebiotics, probiotics, acidifiers and enzymes used as additives either in the drinking water or in the feed; probiotics are considered as part of the additives, projecting a very promising future use taking into account the intensity of the production systems and the advantages they promise in the microbiological balance, they strengthen the processes at the level of the gastrointestinal tract by reducing the pH, allowing a suitable environment for the development of Lactobacillus, When using prebiotics, these will help probiotics by nourishing them and allowing their strengthening, organic acids improve digestive processes, reduce the pH of the digestive tract increasing the proliferation of lactobacilli and decreasing the pathogenic flora. In this way, intestinal integrity is defined as the optimal functioning of the intestine, allowing an improvement of the zootechnical parameters. Intestinal problems are evidenced in the digestive tract, causing the energy destined for production to be sent to the defense functions.
