Abstract

The ban on nutritive antibiotic use in Europe and the increased awareness of the consumers triggered a need for natural and safe feed additives to achieve better production results of farm animals. Plant extracts are used in animal nutrition as appetite and digestion stimulants, stimulants of physiological functions, for prevention and treatment of certain pathological conditions, as colorants and antioxidants. This article is a review of present literature data on the usage of plant extracts in poultry, pig and ruminant nutrition.

Secondary title:	Uporaba zelišč in začimb ter njihovih ekstraktov v prehrani živali
Secondary abstract:	Prepoved uporabe nutritivnih antibiotikov v prehrani živali v Evropi in naraščajoča zavest potrošnikov je sprožila potrebo po uporabi naravnih in zdravih prehranskih dodatkov za doseganje boljših proizvodnih rezultatov. Rastlinske izvlečke v prehrani živali uporabljamo kot stimulatorje apetita in prebave, za preprečevanje in zdravljenje nekaterih bolezenskih stanj, za stimuliranje fizioloških funkcij, kot barvila in kot antioksidante. Predstavljen članek je pregled dosedanjih yznanstvenih dognanj o uporabi rastlinskih ekstraktov v prehrani perutnine, prašičev in prežvekovalcev.
