Alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in prevention of diarrhoea in weaned piglets: a review

Original language description

The weaning time is a crucial period in the management of piglets. The risk of development of post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) in piglets is high. PWD is the cause of serious economic losses in pig herds. Since 2006, the use of antibiotic growth promoters for prevention of diarrhoeal diseases in piglets has been banned. This measure also led to the investigation of alternatives suitable as feed supplements that would be reasonably efficient in the protection and the sustaining of animal health and performance. Various natural materials such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, zinc and plant extracts were tested as effective alternatives to antibiotics. Recently, the research effort has been conducted on application of natural clays and clay-based feed supplements owing to their high adsorption capacity. The purpose of this review is to summarize the effect of different alternative components as growth promoters on the health and performance of weaned and growing piglets.
