Summary:
Overview of a bibliographic awareness service on scientific publications on alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production over a year (2016). 400 websites of scientific journals in relation with biology, animal production and/or veterinary medicine have been screened. It allowed to identify 134 publications over the observation period (1 year) and to distinguish 18 categories of products for which trial results have been published. The frequency of such publications is sustained with more than 2 articles per week, on average. There is a dominance of publications on probiotics and plant extracts. Published studies have 1 to 3 of the following aims: zootechnical effect, sanitary effect, targeting of coccidiosis/necrotic enteritis, or gut colonisation. In all these cases, 20-25% of the published trials report on a negative result (i.e. no statistical difference was observed) towards the selected markers.

Aromam Field trial: Efficiency of an essential oil-based mixture to cure mild and severe clinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows by Guiadeur, M., Ballot, N., Bellenot, D., Hardit, V., Sulpuci, P., Martin, G., Lamarle, F., Jouet, L. and A. Fauriat 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants 2020: Session Santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Other
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
A study evaluated an essential oil mixture for the treatment of bovine mild and moderate clinical mastitis in dairy cattle. In dairy herds from Brittany, Pays de la Loire or Auvergne Rhône Alpes, a total of 131 clinical cases were randomly assigned to essential oil (n = 72) or antibiotic (n = 63) group. Essential oil mixture was applied on infected quarter during 14 consecutive milking. Results showed that clinical cure rate was lower in the essential oil group than in antibiotic group (72.3 % vs 88.1 %). Cure rate based on two consecutive individual SCC < 300 000 cell/ml after occurrence was higher in essential oil group only in Brittany, Pays de la Loire (95.0 % vs 60.0 %). Bacteriological cure rate was lower in essential oil group compare to antibiotic group only in Auvergne Rhône Alpes (96.0 % vs 53.4 %). In the growing context of antimicrobial resistance, results showed that there is an interest to consider essential oils as a complement to antibiotics to evaluate new treatment strategies of dairy cows mammary infections.

Perceptions, fears and motivations for the use of complementary and alternative medicines: the results of a national survey of specialized breeders, technicians and vets in the veal calves by Chanteperdrix, M. and S. Meurisse 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants 2020: Session Santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Pathogen management
Species targeted: Beef;
Age: Young;
Summary:
The second EcoAntibio Plan promotes the use of alternative therapies, with more incentive than regulatory measures. Today, we have little information about the perceptions and knowledge of these medicines by actors in the veal sector. Therefore, a national survey, funded by FAM, was conducted among specialized breeders, technicians and veterinarians to identify the perceptions, fears and motivations for the use of complementary and alternative medicines. More than half of breeders already declare that they use them on their farms, mainly for the care of digestive and respiratory disorders. The main motivations for using these medicines are on the one hand a desire to reduce the use of antibiotics and on the other hand personal convictions. However, the lack of information and support is hampering professionals. Solutions must be found in the training of breeders, technicians and veterinarians who are many to express this need.

Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Phytogenic feed additives (PFA), also known as phytobiotics or botanicals, are commonly defined as various plant secondary compounds (PSC) and metabolites with beneficial effects on animal health and production, including feed and animal products. Botanicals in animal production have different applications, including sensory phytogenic additives, technological additives for improvement of feed quality and safety, as well as additives promoting animal health and welfare, acting as immunomodulators, antioxidants, digestive stimulants, and substances that can increase the performance and quality of animal products. This study is focused on available microencapsulation techniques of EOs to increase the bioavailability of active compounds, as well as their application in the animal feed additive industry.

Review: Are we using probiotics correctly in post-weaning piglets? by Barba-Vidal, E., Martín-Orúe, S.M., and L. Castillejos 2018 Animal 12: 2489-2498
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Pre-/probiotics; Feed / gut health
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young;
Summary:
This review critically examines the use of probiotics in post-weaning piglets, focusing on challenge situations, and proposes potential strategies to increase consistency in probiotic effects. Given the current lack of reproducibility commonly described with probiotic use, this approach could have significant positive effects upon the efficacy of probiotic products and economic viability of the swine industry. Furthermore, it aims to be useful to swine nutritionists, researchers and the additive industry to critically consider their approach when developing or using probiotic strategies in weaning piglets.

Using probiotics to improve swine gut health and nutrient utilization by Liao, S.F., and M. Nyachoti 2017 Animal Nutrition Dec: 331–343
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Pre-/probiotics; Feed / gut health
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Beyond its physiological function as the alimentary canal for nutrient digestion and absorption, pig’s gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) is also one of the largest organs that helps animal’s immune function, because by nature the gut is animal’s first line of defense against the microbial pressure from its environment, especially the invasive pathogens from the GIT lumen. Activation of the GIT immune system incurs the direct cost of producing a diverse set of specialized immune cells and signaling molecules, as well as the losses in the efficiency of GIT digestive function. Therefore, only a healthy gut can lead to a healthy pig. And only a healthy pig can utilize dietary nutrients efficiently for tissue accretion, and lead to a better production performance and, thus, a higher return on investment for swine producers. This review paper aims to provide some much needed up-to-date knowledge and comprehensive references for swine nutritionists and producers to refer to before making prudent decisions and for scientists and researchers to develop better commercial products.

A review of the effects of dietary organic acids fed to swine by Suiryanrayna, M.V.A.N., and J.V. Ramana 2015 Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology 6: 11-Jan
In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements; Specific alternatives
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young;
Summary:
The weaning transition is a complex period during which the piglets have to cope up with abrupt separation from their mother, mixing with other litters in a usually new environment and turning over to a less digestible solid creep feed to highly digestible liquid milk. Early weaned piglets are (3–4 weeks age) exposed to stress with a reduced feed intake, little or no weight gain. This post weaning lag period is due to a limited digestive and absorptive capacity due to insufficient production of hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes and sudden changes in feed consistency and intake. The aim of this review is to evaluate the response of weaned piglets, growing pigs and reproductive m sows to dietary organic acids as illustrated in terms of performance, i.e., growth rate, feed intake and feed utilization. In addition, reasons for varying responses to and possible modes of action of organic acids will be discussed.

Summary:
The udder cleft incidence on a farm is often underestimated, particularly on farms with a milking robot. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to regularly check the udders of all animals using a telescopic inspection mirror. Udder cleft issues like udder cleft dermatitis or foul udder are often located between the front teats and at the transition of the front quarters and the abdominal wall. Although this condition is well known in the dairy industry, not much research has been performed. This is the first large-scale study that demonstrates the positive effect of the non-antibiotic Intra Repiderma spray on mild udder skin issues. Spraying of the mild udder skin cases every 2 days resulted in 81.8% full skin recovery with a median time for recovery of 4 weeks.
