Small molecules of natural origin as a source of antimicrobial agents in pig breeding - review

Abstract

The use of antibiotics is currently limited within the Framework of the prevention of the infectious disease in farm animals in the EU. Formerly used antibiotic growth stimulators markedly enhanced the quality of animal breeding and decreased the incidence of infectious diseases.

According to the EU recommendation, a substantially higher attention must be paid to the research of natural substances in agricultural sphere.
