The benefits of using Phytobiotic HygenPro* in poultry and swine diets

摘要

In this article, we would like to review the efficacy of phytobiotics used in the different stages of poultry and swine production. We would like to present the mode of action and performance under conditions of intensive production. In the scope of this study will be considered the unique combination of essential oils and organic acids available on the market under the brand HygenPro. The usage of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in poultry and livestock production was very common along years, however nowadays presents many problems of legal, technical and sanitary nature. From a technical point of view, the main disadvantage is that AGP are not selective over the intestine microbiota, so they affect both pathogen and saprophyte bacteria.
