Abstract

The withdrawal of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) from the list of allowed feed additives forced livestock producers to look for legal and safe substitutes. These included probiotics, synbiotics, enzymes and proenzymes, minerals, organic and inorganic acids, as well as phytobiotics, i.e. plant extracts and substances dervied from herbs. Medicinal plants contain a range of biologically active compounds in various combinations, thus they may have a varied effect on the animal body. Here we review the properties of a number of medicinal plants used in the feeding of livestock animals, such as cattle, poultry and swine. The research has confirmed the effectiveness of herbal substances as natural growth promoters and proved they represent an alternative for banned antibiotics. Phytobotics also prove to be a positive factor in relation to both animal health and productivity in terms of quality and quantity, in cattle (milk and beef), pigs (pork yield and reproductive performance) and poultry (egg laying yield in laying hens and broiler chickens). Health improvement is the most pronounced outcome of an application of herbs and herbal feed additives, which has been reflected in blood tests. The interest in phytobiotics as a natural food component will continue to grow, along with the consumers’ awareness and the growing demand for healthy food products. To achieve the desired effects, it is not enough to replace the antibiotics with herbs or to add them to the feed. In the first place, it is a ballanced feed ration, animal welfare and appropriate veterinary prophylaxis that should be taken care of.
在动物营养中使用草药
抗生素生长促进剂(AGP)从允许的饲料添加剂名单中撤出迫使牲畜生产者寻找合法和安全的替代品。这些包括益生菌,合成菌,酶和原酶,矿物质,有机和无机酸,以及植物益生菌,即植物提取物和从草药中提取的物质。药用植物含有一系列不同组合的生物活性化合物,因此它们可能对动物身体产生不同的作用。本文综述了一些用于家畜饲料的药用植物的特性,如牛、家禽和猪。该研究证实了草药作为天然生长促进剂的有效性,并证明它们是禁用抗生素的替代品。在牛(牛奶和牛肉)、猪(猪肉产量和繁殖性能)和家禽(蛋鸡和肉鸡的产蛋量)的质量和数量方面,植物制剂也被证明是与动物健康和生产力有关的一个积极因素。健康的改善是应用草药和草药饲料添加剂的最显著的结果,这已反映在血液测试中。随着消费者对健康食品的认识和需求不断增长,人们对植物素作为天然食品成分的兴趣将继续增长。为了达到预期的效果,仅仅用草药代替抗生素或在饲料中添加抗生素是不够的。首先,应该注意的是均衡的饲料配给、动物福利和适当的兽医预防措施。
