The use of phytobiotics in livestock) (review)

In domestic animal husbandry, the question of the use of biologically active substances of plant origin (phytobiotics) in animal feeding is increasingly being raised. The review of modern scientific literature on the study of the effectiveness of the use of phytobiotics in various branches of animal husbandry indicates their high demand and the feasibility of including them in the diets of animals and poultry. In general, the development of new effective, natural, environmentally friendly preparations of plant origin (phytobiotics), as an alternative to antibiotics, continues to be one of the urgent tasks of modern biological science. The analysis of the literature data and the results of the authors ' own research indicate the prospects for the production and use of phytobiotics in animal husbandry, due to their pronounced positive effect on productivity, nonspecific resistance and the physiological state of animals and poultry. In addition, their use is justified in order to obtain environmentally friendly (organic) products and increase the economic efficiency of the production of animal products. It is advisable to use phytobiotics in combination with probiotics, as well as the production of multifunctional drugs (for example, "HerbaStor"). Phytobiotics should be used not only on farms and industrial complexes, but also in farms in the production of environmentally safe animal products. In the long term should be extended from the study of the mechanisms of action of phytobiotic on the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, secretory activity of the pancreas, the processes of absorption of feed nutrients, immunity, fertility, the quality of the products produced, taking into account physiological characteristics of the organism, the specific feeding and care of various age groups of farm animals and poultry.
