Sažetak
Replacing antibiotics with biologically active substances in poultry nutrition has been a topical issue for many years. Systematic removal of antibiotics from animal feed after their use was prohibited in the European Union in 2006 has increased the pressure on the poultry industry to find alternatives to replace antibiotics in poultry nutrition. Modern poultry production in its approach to nutrition is based on bioactive ingredients in food which, instead of the excessive use of antibiotics and other drugs, maintains the health and well-being, and reduces the effects of environmental stressors on the resilience and productivity of poultry in intensive farming. At present the EU policy changes from lower and cheaper to more expensive but safer
food production, through modification of poultry raising system. This primarily refers to the tendency of abandoning antibiotics, coccidiostatics and other medicinal growth promoters for fear of increasing bacterial resistance. All the more attention in poultry nutrition focuses on competitive exclusion, probiotics, prebiotics, antibacterial peptides, yeast and more topical plant formed additives.
