Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global public health. This systematic review and meta-analysis, as part of the “ENVIRE” project (interventions to control the dynamics of antimicrobial resistance from chickens through the environment), assesses the prevalence of phenotypic and genotypic resistance, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), AmpC beta-lactamases, carbapenemases, colistin, and fluoroquinolone resistance, in broiler chickens and their environment. Methods: The analysis covers the years 2002–2022, focusing on Escherichia (E.) coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., and Citrobacter spp. in fecal, meat, environmental, and other-than-feces samples from observational studies published in PubMed and Web of Science. Quality assessment was performed using the Alberta Heritage Foundation criteria. Results: Data from 170 studies, conducted in Europe, North Africa, and North America, were included. The most frequently studied resistance was to beta-lactam, with focus on ESBL-producing and AmpC beta-lactamase isolates. The pooled prevalence of ESBL-resistant E. coli observed in meat samples at 41% and in fecal samples at 38% demonstrated significant heterogeneity between the studies. The negative binomial regression analysis of prevalence data revealed significantly higher ESBL-producing E. coli rates in European meat samples compared to North African samples. Conclusions: This systematic review revealed substantial variation in prevalence and emphasizes the need for standardized surveillance systems and robust study designs.
