Although antibiotics are widely used by poultry farms to help chickens gain more resistance, research shows that some types of bacteria or 'viruses' in chickens can produce antibiotic antibiotic in the long term, according to Dr. Chia Tet Fatt - new technology author.

The technology was researched and developed by Kee Song Brothers Poultry and Otemchi Biotechnologies, a company specializing in the research of milk bacteria technology .
