Summary:
Pathogen colonisation in livestock can harm animal health, as well as subsequent human health after consumption of animal derived proteins (pork, poultry, beef, eggs, milk). The authors tested a portfolio of plant based essential oils on major microbial pathogens with clinical importance in animals (and humans), such as E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. The results indicate that most of them show good potential in the treatment of these kind of infections, and leaves room for application in livestock production. Most plant based essential oils are pure compounds and tested in the laboratory ex-animal. For application in the field, the farmer has to decide on cost-effectiveness and on what’s available in the market at reasonable prices.
