7 additives to replace antibiotics in US broiler feeds

摘要

It is no secret that the United States is following the path highlighted by the European Union, at least when it comes to banning growth-promoting antibiotics in broiler diets. In fact, in several well-known instances, the U.S. broiler industry is taking it a step further, refusing to use antibiotics even for therapeutic purposes in what is known as the Never Ever 3 (NE3) marketing program. To make matters worse, coccidiostats are classed as antibiotics underU.S. rules, something the EU has carefully managed to avoid, so far.
