Determining the relationship between varying inclusions of Bacillus lichenformis and tribasic copper chloride on 42-day-old Ross 708 male broiler performance

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021
Summary: Probiotics, such as Bacillus licheniformis (BL), and some trace minerals, such as copper (supplied via tribasic copper chloride; [TBCC]), have been explored singularly in the literature for use in antibiotic-free poultry production.

Effects of Zinc and Menthol-Based Diets on Co-Selection of Antibiotic Resistance among E. coli and Enterococcus spp. in Beef Cattle

Animals, 2021
Antibiotic resistance represents a growing crisis in both human and veterinary medicine. We evaluated the use of antibiotic alternatives—heavy metals and essential oils—in beef cattle feeding, and their effects on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
