Since the European Union implemented the ban on the prophylactic use of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals in 2006, it has spread worldwide.

… also the use of ionophorous anticoccidials in some regions is limited by legislation, or as part of branding (e.g. No Antibiotics Ever), while in most countries they are not (yet) mentioned.

Accompanying this trend, consumers demand the use of natural products instead of relying on chemicals to improve the robustness of livestock in a more sustainable way. Discover how to support your animals naturally with phytogenics in our latest Dossier.
