Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …

Antibiotics Mediated as Antibiotics Growth Promotants (AGP)
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in human infections has emerged as a serious public health concern. Some of the resistance problem may be traced back to the transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human infections. Improvements in food cleanliness are among the control methods used to minimise the transmission of zoonotic germs to humans via the …
