Abstract

Use of herbal products is an age-old practice in human and the animals. The recent consumer scares over animal production practices have renewed interest in using alternative ingredients particularly those from plants which are perceived as natural and safe by consumers. Such compounds are already established as flavourings in human and animal feeds. However very recently the attention of scientists is drawn towards the use of alternative ingredients particularly of plant origin for the production and health of animals. The recent ban on use of various antibacterials as growth promoters in many countries have forced scientists to work on alternative therapies. Plants on its own as well as in combination have been reported to possess significant growth promoting toxin counteracting. antistress and immunomodulating activity. An attempt is made in this article to review the role of herbal products in poultry production.
