TLDR
The European support to recommendations of the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Organization for Animal Health for a ban on antimicrobial use in animal feeds is expected to favor other countries also phase out these substances out.

Food Animals and Antimicrobials: Impacts on Human Health

TL;DR: The substantial and expanding volume of evidence reporting animal-to-human spread of resistant bacteria, including that arising from use of NTAs, supports eliminating NTA use in order to reduce the growing environmental load of resistance genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential oils: from extraction to encapsulation.

TL;DR: This insures the protection of the fragile oil and controlled release of the essential oils for various applications such as in vitro diagnosis, therapy, cosmetic, textile, food etc.

An update on alternatives to antimicrobial growth promoters for broilers

TL;DR: A number of non-therapeutic alternatives, including enzymes, (in)organic acids, probiotics, prebiotics, etheric oils and immunostimulants are described in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial Resistance: A Global Emerging Threat to Public Health Systems

TL;DR: An extensive overview of the epidemiology of AMR is presented, with a focus on the link between food producing-animals and humans and on the legal framework and policies currently implemented at the EU level and globally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic alternatives: the substitution of antibiotics in animal husbandry?

TL;DR: It is hard to conclude that the alternatives might substitute antibiotics in veterinary medicine in the foreseeable future, but prudent use of antibiotics and the establishment of scientific monitoring systems are the best and fastest way to limit the adverse effects of the abused antibiotics and to ensure the safety of animal-derived food and environment.

Application of prebiotics and probiotics in poultry production

TL;DR: The intestinal microbiota, epithelium, and immune system provide resistance to enteric pathogens, and recent data suggest that resistance is not solely due to the sum of the components, but that cross-talk between these components is also involved in modulating this resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic growth promoters in agriculture: history and mode of action

TL;DR: The biological basis for antibiotic effects on animal growth efficiency will consider effects on intestinal microbiota and effects on the host animal and will use the germ-free animal to illustrate effects of the conventional microflora.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perspectives on the use of organic acids and short chain fatty acids as antimicrobials

TL;DR: Development and application of molecular tools to study pathogen behavior in preharvest and postharvest food production environments will enable dissection of specific bacterial genetic regulation involved in response to organic acids, which could lead to the development of more targeted strategies to control foodborne pathogens with organic acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The European ban on growth-promoting antibiotics and emerging consequences for human and animal health

TL;DR: The theoretical and political benefit of the widespread ban of growth promoters needs to be more carefully weighed against the increasingly apparent adverse consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of antibiotic growth promoters from poultry diets: implications and strategies to minimise subsequent problems.

TL;DR: It is hoped that nutritional control will lead to microbiological control, allowing for more consistent production responses in the absence of antibiotics.
