improve the efficiency of production in ruminants has increased in response to
demands for using more “natural” growth-promoting substances. More research is

nutrition.
Phytomolecules
added to feed may not produce their effects on growth and productivity via the
same mode of action as once thought. Research has allowed us to revise our
thinking, and to take a more
integrated approach to the use of plant extracts, combining their mode of
action with those of other AGP (Antibiotic Growth Promoter)-alternatives on the
market.
