In the bibliography, some authors use it to designate chemical compounds extracted from plants (phytogenics) and used in animal feed.
dont really know
anabiotic = ana + biotic
i see both have definitions. look at the definition of ana and biotic
Dear Brian Bernard
In the medical dictionary : Here is the definition
Suspended state of life by drought (anhydrobiose) or very low temperatures (hibernation). This is the case of encysted bacteria, eggs of Artemia, among other many examples. The organization is preserved and the active life can resume when the conditions become favorable. Anabiotic: adj. and N. to be alive that can be revived after a period of anabiosis. Also qualifies any process that allows the return to life of a living being in Anabiose.
However, I found this word used in animal nutrition, in feed additives?
based on this, i would take it to mean and refer to any organism that can survive and revive in animal feeds.
animal feeds are dry, but may contain eggs etc that hatch at the right temperature and humidity. the resultant organisms likely cause animal diseases
1. A restoring to life from a deathlike condition; resuscitation.
2. A state of suspended animation, especially one in which certain aquatic invertebrates are able to survive long periods of drought.
[Greek anabiÅsis, from anabioun, to return to life : ana-, ana- + bioun, to live (from bios, life; see gwei- in Indo-European roots).]
Hallo.
Yes the term anabiotic may refer, as you reported to a condition of appaerentl death.
Also it's used to define any product which is beneficial to the vital reactivation as "bringing back to life agent". Recently I've read about some food having beneficial power on human or animal life, those are usual called Anabiotics or Probiotics (ana- and pro- are both suffixes coming from ancient Greek having the same meaning of "supporting' ; bio is the ancient Greek for "life").
