In this review, we have discussed the recent potential effects of plants and their derivatives in treating diseases of veterinary importance in livestock. The therapeutic value of these natural products depends upon their bioactive metabolites that are developed and isolated from crude plants, thus produced a selective action on the body. The crises of drug resistance in most pathogenic bacteria and parasites that cause economic loss in animals necessitate developing new sources for drugs to overcome therapeutic failure. We summarized the different antibacterial and antiparasitic plants with their bioactive compounds that have widely used in animals. Finally, the environmental friendly feed additives that may be used as alternatives to an antibiotic growth promoter for broiler chickens were illustrated.
在本综述中，我们讨论了植物及其衍生物在治疗家畜重要兽医疾病方面的近期潜在作用。这些天然产物的治疗价值取决于从粗植物中开发和分离出的生物活性代谢物，从而对机体产生选择性作用。大多数致病细菌和寄生虫产生的耐药性危机给动物带来经济损失，因此有必要开发新的药物来源以克服治疗失败的问题。我们总结了不同的抗菌和抗寄生虫植物及其在动物中广泛使用的生物活性化合物。最后，还阐述了可作为肉鸡抗生素生长促进剂替代品的环保型饲料添加剂。
