You can set a channel/consumer level prefetch count to consume messages in batches. In order to re-submit messages, you should use the basic.reject AMQP method and those messages can be chosen to be requeued or forwarded to a dead letter queue. Multiple consumers trying to pull messages from the same queue is not an issue asthe AMQP basic.get method will be synchronized to handle concurrent consumers.
