Lysozyme as an alternative to growth promoting antibiotics in swine production [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2015 Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme found in bodily secretions such as tears, saliva, and milk. It functions as an antimicrobial agent by cleaving the peptidoglycan component of bacterial cell walls, which leads to cell death. Antibiotics are also antimicrobials and have been fed at subtherapeutic levels to swine as growth promoters.

ANTIBIOTICS AS GROWTH PROMOTANTS:MODE OF ACTION
Animal Biotechnology, 2002 Recent concerns about the use of growth-promoting antibiotics in pig diets have renewed interest in the immunologic and growth-regulating functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The numerically dense and metabolically active microbiota ofthe pig GI tract represents a key focal point for such questions.
