For some decades, the removal of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) has been the agenda in animal production. The subject has gained greater strength in the last two years, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, the concern with health has become even more indispensable in people's lives.
The continuous use of AGPs in animal metabolism minimizes the occurrence of infections, especially the “invisible”, which we call subclinical, in addition to the enteric challenges, especially those related to the intestinal health of animals. It is worth mentioning that the impacts of these challenges can potentially be linked to the management system that the animal is being created and not only to the use or not of AGPS.
The concern with the increase in resistance to the continuous use of antimicrobials has been a ongoing agenda among producers, and the search for natural alternatives has gained increasing prominence in the sector.
In this way, an adequate management system, linked to the use of natural additives, becomes a viable solution within systems that value biosecurity, allowing the removal of antimicrobials, preserving animal health and guaranteeing productivity rates.
The new natural alternatives that appear on the market are broad and can help in this transition process, as they have proven to be an excellent tool, even more efficient than AGPs.
In a sustainable way and allied to natural technology, Seta works in precision animal nutrition, seeking to produce intelligent and advanced solutions, always attentive to biosafety and biosecurity.
