| dc.description.abstract | Clostridium perfringens can cause different enteric infections in
diverse species including severe and fatal necrotizing enteritis in new-born
piglets. Antibiotic administration is the only effective treatment option, but
the use of the antimicrobials should be reduced worldwide. We can combat
this problem with alternatives to antibiotics, such as plant-based feed
additives. Plant compounds are regarded to be exceptional since they contain
many beneficial properties that make them an ideal feed additive for
livestock. Because of their potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant effects, they may be beneficial in preventing disease outbreaks in
farm animals. | en_US |
