What are effective alternatives to antibiotics in animal agriculture?

In my experience, probiotics are the fuel of the future in animal Agriculture Industries. Perhaps it enhances the animal immune system and all this leads to human health as far as. I hope everyone working in the agri-animals industry focuses on this nutritional supplement. It protects from AMR or Drug misuse and economic growth for your business.

Effective alternatives to antibiotics in animal agriculture include probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, which promote gut health and boost immunity. Additionally, plant-based additives like essential oils and herbal extracts have shown promise as natural antimicrobial agents. Vaccination programs can also prevent disease outbreaks. Improved hygiene practices and management strategies, such as better ventilation and reduced stocking densities, help minimize stress and disease transmission. Furthermore, selective breeding for disease resistance enhances animal resilience. Finally, phage therapy, involving the use of bacteriophages to target specific pathogens, is a targeted approach to combat bacterial infections in livestock.

Balanced nutrition, supplying essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, minerals , trace elements and vitamins in a total feed supply with adequate energy and protein for the stage of life and production (including reproduction) is fundamental to well-being, a functional immune system and balanced inflammation.

Our LIQI-Acidolysis Glycan montmorillonite(a kind of Modified montmorillonite) can replace antibiotic,used for feed mill and breeding terminal.It is a natural products. We have animal experiments and in vitro experiments supports.

Interaction of Rezovet and Rezomast with Antibiotics. Synergy and Prospects Research conducted by our company Stemtrix shows a synergistic effect between the drugs we developed Rezovet (prevention and treatment of birds) and Rezovet (prevention and treatment of mastitis in cattle), which are based on resorcinol compounds and antibiotics. This was especially demonstrated in the interaction with antibiotics of the sulfonamide group. Combination with our drugs enhances the antimicrobial effect, which opens up broad prospects for the development of more effective agents in the fight against infections.

Na nutrição, uma alternativa interessante ao uso de antibióticos são os óleos essenciais. Além de contribuir com a modulação da fermentação ruminal trazendo segurança nas dietas de confinamento, os óleos essenciais estimulam o consumo de alimento pelo animal. Por serem compostos naturais, não deixam resíduo na carne, nem no alimento e nem nos dejetos. Óleos essenciais não são componentes tóxicos ou perigosos.

The abovementioned alternatives are all good, but usually a combination of these is needed as different farms will have different areas that will be a concern when they reduce or stop using antibiotics. Aside from that, cost of the solution will play a big factor on the farmer's decision making primarily because the cost of meat, whether using antibiotics or not, will be the same. And I guess this is where government bodies can support the industry once we move to antibiotic free production.

Also before adding more “Additives”, we might need to go back to the basics, where young animal need more tender loving care. Start with the best raw material, best source of protein, make sure is “clean”, low mycotoxins contamination, Low ANFs, highly digestible, things that we can control from the start.

The above mentioned approaches are useful, but there is one thing I am missing. We would not be so dependent on alternatives for antibiotics if we would start formulating diets that contain mostly clean ingredients, with low risk of pathogenicity and low levels of antinutritional factors in the first place. More precision formulation is needed as antibiotics and their alternatives merely mask flaws in diet composition.

Interaction of the Drug Rezovet with Antibiotics Resorcinol lipids, namely they form the basis of the active ingredients of the drug Rezovet, can affect the mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Their effect on cell membranes and virulence factors can make microorganisms more vulnerable to the effects of antibiotics, especially in cases where antibiotic resistance develops. The use of antibiotic combinations with drugs developed by Stemtrix may provide new strategies for treating infections. This is especially important in the context of the search for alternative treatments, given the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.
