Antibiotics or Probiotics: Reducing Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotics are important to successful livestock production. Unfortunately use of antibiotics applies selection pressure that results in antibiotic resistance in exposed populations of bacteria and can also result in antibiotic residues in meat and milk from treated animals. Of major current concern is the risk of transfer of antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes encoding resistance from peo...

Garlic: An Alternative to Antibiotics in Poultry Production, A Review

In last decade, the uncontrolled use of antibiotics as growth promoter for livestock has led to the appearance of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and increased risk of infectious diseases. This situation has triggered intensive research efforts to find safe alternative strategies. Certainly, the plants and vegetables and their derivatives as natural safe substances could be good candidates in th...

Safe Alternative Additives to Antibiotics in Rabbit Nutrition: Probiotics and Prebiotics

Rabbit meat is interesting for its dietetic and nutritional characteristics and bio-security for the consumer. In addition, the consumer as a product of high quality already accepts it. With intensification of production systems and concurrent exposure to different stressors, antibiotics at subtherapeutic levels, have been widely introduced to rabbits as growth promoters for long time. Recently...

Phenotypic Resistance to Antibiotics

The development of antibiotic resistance is usually associated with genetic changes, either to the acquisition of resistance genes, or to mutations in elements relevant for the activity of the antibiotic. However, in some situations resistance can be achieved without any genetic alteration; this is called phenotypic resistance. Non-inherited resistance is associated to specific processes such a...
