What are growth promoters in poultry?
Antibiotics used solely in animals and nearly entirely for growth enhancement have a scarcity of data. The antibiotics bambermycin, avilamycin, efrotomycin, and the ionophore antibiotics are among these products (monensin, salinomycin, narasin, and lasalocid). Bacitracin, which is used only infrequently in human and veterinary medicine, and streptogramin antibiotics likewise have limited information. These antibiotics' methods of action and resistance mechanisms are described. The incidence of resistance among gram-positive bacteria obtained from animals and people is given special attention. Because most of the antibiotics discussed lack susceptibility breakpoints, an alternative approach to MIC interpretation is presented. There are also some pharmacokinetic data and information regarding the impact of these products on the intestinal flora. Growth promoters like swine growth promoter prome-max and swine mortality sporich-resq , are primarily used in agricultural animals to en
