The paper presents a literature review of effects of the acidifiers (the substances which are put into an animal body to produce or become acid) when they are supplemented in poultry rations. An overview of their effects on poultry’s growth performance and immunity along with the effect of supplementation on nutrient digestibility is presented. The literature on antimicrobial activity of organic acids has also been reviewed.
