What a fantastic public health good if it could be implemented in Africa, today most of the prescribed feed grade and polysubstrate antibiotics find their ways to Africa, which is most unethical.
Recent study completed and concluded by this author on a neonate nutraceutical from France was used in preshipment and as probiotics on just one day or 2 days for broiler with a control not on the product.
The result was outstanding in trials such that all through the rearing phase of 42 days no antibiotics was used, as against repeated use of antibiotic in the control production and profitability analysis established for trials and control with very efficient results for the test trials than in the control.
Besides our study of using thus product as a hydrating agent for chick transportation ton long distant shipment over 100 kilometers increased ability by 1.6% over chicks so transported without the hydrating agent.
Such products even with better production indexes ands profitability analysis should be encouraged to replace antibiotic in other to minimise human resistances
Interested projects that are interested in the production and profitability analysis of this unique product should contact livestock industry foundation for Africa at lifango48@gmail .com and copy soavet@ yahoo.com.
Attention. Dr. Stephen Adejoro
I like the topic.
I was overwhelmed with the results that our farmers got when we introduced them to phytobiotics. Natural growth promoters like Sangrovit should be embraced by all African countries. Good management, proper biosecurity, hygiene, trained employees and Sangrovit in feed and water (these are ideal candidates for antibiotics).

The Netherlands recognized the problems of Antimicrobial Resistance in Human and animals and reduced drastically the usage of antibiotics as growth promoters.
The alternative is to stimulate the Immune system by immune stimulants like Nucleotides, Phytogenics, and SCFA and MCFA specialties.
