Replacing Antibiotics with Phytobiotics in Animal Husbandry and Poultry Production: Challenges and Opportunities
Abstract
Scientists studying animal nutrition have lately started to focus more on phytobiotics, or physiologically active components of plants. They have just recently (20–30 years) begun their intricate investigation. In animal husbandry, it was demonstrated that usage of plant products (extracts, essential oils, and sections of plants) is associated with an improvement now production indices overall, an increase in feed conversion, and an immunostimulatory effect.
