Globalization has increased the incidence of infectious diseases in livestock, further aggravated by the reduction of antibiotic usage. To minimize the resulting economic consequences to the meat production industry, as well as the risk of zoonotic events, the use of immunostimulants has emerged as a potential strategy to enhance animal resilience to diseases. In particular, the capability of bacterial-based immunostimulants to modulate innate immune cells functionality makes them cost-effective candidates as vaccine adjuvants, antimicrobials, or preventive immunostimulators inducing long-term innate immune memory in livestock. However, further research is required to identify novel bacterial strains Deleted: 3 39 Deleted: 4, 40
