Abstract

The European Union banned in-feed antibiotics since 2006. The main reason was the fear that the bacterial resistance developed in animals can be transmitted to humans to the detriment of their health. The ban has important economic consequences. Suitable alternatives to banned antibiotics are plant extracts, essential oils, organic acids and mannanoligosaccharides.
