AGP ban drives demand for alternatives
With the ongoing debate over antimicrobial resistance and its effect on human beings, alternatives to antimicrobial growth promoters are likely to gain R&D funding support and consequent volumes of uptake by end users.
For example, under the Commercial Ready Scheme, AusIndustry awarded a $2.1 million grant to BioDiem, an Australian biopharmaceutical development company working on a non-antibiotic antimicrobial, to enhance growth and feed conversion in chickens.
The most prominent alternatives that are likely to gain at the expense of antimicrobials are feed enzymes, direct-fed microbials, feed acidifiers and essential oils.
