ALL ABOUT'S...
Introduction
30 oct 2006In recent years, the forthcoming ban of in-feed antibiotics, which has been implemented in Europe in January 2006, has driven research activities regarding the potential of plant extracts and essential oils as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters.
The potential benefits of using phytogenics in livestock nutrition are:
- Increased feed intake
- Stimulation of digestion
- Increased growth performance
- Reduced incidence of diarrhoea
- Increased performance parameters
- Improved reproductive parameters
- Improved feed efficiency- higher profitability
At present, there is an increasing number of phytogenic
products available on the market. However, due to a large variation in chemical
composition these products vary greatly in their efficacy and dosage
rate.
