Abstract
Intensive animal husbandry systems are often associated with higher population densities and extensive use of artificial feeds. Outbreaks of bacterial and parasitic diseases are a major limiting factor for animal farming and producers often use large amounts of antimicrobials, anthelmintics, disinfectants, and pesticides to control mortality and avoid economic losses. Due to adverse effects on the environment, and on animal and human health, the usefulness of these practices has been questioned. Using plant-based therapies within animal production has shown potential as a natural and biodegradable source of Compounds with activity against a variety of pathogens. Plant derived therapy plays an important role ensuring global health, especially in developing countries. The use of phytotherapy has a long history for prevention, clinical treatment, and cure of diseases and well as growth and health promoters in animal nutrition. Medicinal herbs, derivatives, and organic products may be considered one of the most important holistic alternatives to treat livestock globally.
