Following the ban on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in Europe, various solutions have come on to the market. The objective of such solutions must be to ensure a level of efficacy at least equivalent to that obtained with the products they are designed to replace, while preserving the animals' physiology in an environmentally friendly manner. One of these solutions, based on plant extracts, essential oils and spices, has been developed for poultry production. Its objectives are to optimise feed intake and the digestive process as a whole to maximise feed utilisation, as well as to control pathogen development in the digestive tract. Today, this natural solution has proven its value and numerous trials on broiler chickens and turkeys validate thisinnovative concept.These trials, conducted either in research stations or on commercial farms, demonstrate that this plant-based complex (Oleobiotec) helps to attain zootechnical performance similar to that obtained with antibiotic growth promoters, with a positive impacton poultry survival.
