The Potential of Phytobiotic Plants for the Development of Russian Livestock and Poultry Farming (Review)

In order to fully realize the genetic potential of the productivity of farm animals, it is necessary to use complete feeding rations, including the introduction of biologically active additives that increase productivity and normalize homeostasis. Currently, various substances are used, including those of plant origin, that reduce the bacterial load, the so-called phytobiotics (phytogenics). More than 800 medicinal plants have been described in pharmacology. They contain a number of biologically active substances: essential oils, tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and have antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory effects. The uniqueness of phytobiotics lies in the fact that they can replace antibiotic growth stimulants in livestock and poultry farming, especially today the search for an alternative to antibiotics is a priority in agriculture.
