Different categories of feed additives for farm animals are referred to as natural growth promoters (NGPs) or non-antibiotic growth promoters. They are commonly regarded as favorable alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in livestock production. NGPs include predominantly organic acids, probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotic, phytogenic, tannins, feed enzymes, and immune stimulants., an ongoing search for alternatives has created a large variety of NGPs for pigs, poultry, ruminants, and aquatic species. So Do you agree that natural growth promoters are more safe and less impact on public health than antibiotic growth promoters? why?
Natural growth promoters are based on essential oils, exclusively from natural origin, which are stabilized on an excipient of amorphous silica in order to obtain a product easily miscible with feed, and which is protected to prevent active ingredients from losing their attributes during the pelletizing process. These promoters may be used for:
1- As an appetizer: the addition of these fore mentioned growth promoters to animal feed, at the recommended dose, does not give a strong scent to feed, but it does acquire a flavour which is very appealing for animals.
2- Enhances the digestion process: their flavour stimulates animals to salivate more, and consequently speeds up enzymatic attack on the feed with greater effectiveness.
3- Using these natural growth promoters increases the production of enzymes and digestive juices throughout the digestive tract, thus favouring the biological process involved in digestion. Furthermore, the absorption of nutrients is improved, which results in a better use of the feed.
4- As an immune stimulant: several assays have confirmed that by using our natural growth promoters, the organs which are involved in immunity are more developed, such as the bursa of Fabricius in birds, and the mesenteric ganglions and Peyer's patches in all the species.
5- Selection of digestive bacteria: this results in the production of more inert excreta, with lower ammonia and methane emission.
Suman Lata Tripathi Thank you so much for your comment and contribution. Really I appreciate that. Thanks.
Might be !!! Rather should have!!The intent behind the AGPs use could be for the commercial interest .. otherwise what's the use??
An interesting discussion that allows a different look at human health.

Some researches implied that the use of organic acid salts such as salts of propionic acid and acetic acid especially Ca salts not only act as antimicrobial and enhance the growth of animals but also improve the oxidative stability of meat after slaughter. As well as decrease the emergence of resistance to antimicrobials if these antimicrobials used as growth promoters in animal production. Food may act as a vehicle for transmission of antimicrobial residues to human which implicated with treatment against human pathogens particularly when the resistance increase against the life-saving antimicrobials. Additionally, and in fact these antimicrobials when provided as growth promoters more than 90% of them excreted with feces and urin which contaminate the soiand water and act as a possible source for residues of antibiotics which increase the likelihood of emergence of resistance.
Very important point raised by Dr Manal. Natural growth may be preferred. But one may need to balance it as per requirement.
Both timely main questions of the thread and following discussion attract attention. Following for the moment.
Manal Hadi Kanaan
definitely yes with natural growth promoters are more safe and less impact on public health than antibiotic growth promoters
Yes of course, the natural growth promoters are more safe and less effect on public health than antibiotic growth promoters, but the antibiotics have quicker effect more than the natural compounds.

Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that. I totally agree with you, the supplementation of the diet with hormones especially estradiol and growth hormones in the diet of animals lead to accumulating of residues of these hormones in the meat that leads to the possibility to induce cancer in humans particularly breast cancer.
Ahmed Saeed Mohmed Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that. I totally agree with you Dr.Ahmed
Anastas Ivanov Ivanov Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that. I totally agree with you Dr. Anastas, as with the increasing human populations lead that researchers try to find ways to increase animal production to meet the consumers demand.

Nazar Alqahwachi Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
I do rather berbs. Naturally, natural resources are healthier than those medicines, I guess!
Murtada Al Manifi Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
Good for you Dr. Manal.
I guess natural herbs are healthier. I am not working on medical field, but that's my belief.
Thanks so much dear for sharing such beautiful question!

Alaa Jabbar Al-Manhel Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
Certainly I agree that the promoters of natural growth are safer and less impact on public health than the promoters of antibiotic growth because natural growth is balanced and has no negative side effects other than growth that depends on antibiotics.
Shakir Tuleab Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that. So beautiful I totally agree with you, Dr. Shakir.
Yes, natural materials are always superior and safer than their artificial counterparts.Antibiotics are known to kill the good bacteria as well as the bad when taken. Also it is easier for the body to develop immunity against antibiotics

Commercial antibiotics as a growth promoter in poultry production are often used in such a dose regimen that these become accumulated in the tissues, rendering residual effects in the consumers. Also very often farmers are unaware of the appropriate withdrawal period as being happening in insecticide use in crop farming. In contrast, if the poultry are reared on rations supplemented with plant-based antimicrobial as a growth promoter, it is highly unlikely that these natural substances accumulated and caused harmful consequences in human.
Additionally, meat from natural growth promoter-fed poultry are superior in quality and taste.

Dear Dr. Kanaan,
Hello
You have inquired an interesting question that can be also answered from perspective of system theory. To be clearer, on the basis of the system thinking, any human-made solution for resolving natural or environmental problems may end in some other unforeseen (unknown) larger problems in future. In fact, on the basis of the system thinking, every element in natural environment are smartly and safely controlling the activities of other elements included in that environment. So far, a lot of studies have been carried out in that regard and nearly all of them ensure the idea of higher efficiency of natural solutions for dealing with natural problems comparing with human-made ones.
So, clearly, as a systems engineer practitioner, I do agree with the idea that natural growth promoters are more safe and less impact on public health than antibiotic growth promoters.
Thank you!

Ali Mollajan Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
Surely better.. Because the function of antibiotic is to kill or inhibit bacteria. Then growth promotion is found is some of them. And not as strong as the NGP does..
Besides, the use of antibiotic can leat to problems of antibiotic resistance..
Khaleel Z. K. Al-Alo Thank you so much for your comments and contribution. Really I appreciate that.
I agree with Dr. Ali Mollajan. He provid a comperhensive response in this issue.
