Soon after their discovery in the 1920s, antibiotics began to play critical role in contributing to the economic effectiveness of animal production. In addition to their therapeutic use against infections, supplementation at subtherapeutic doses is used to improve production and feed conversion efficiency (Castanon, 2007). However, the concern over antibiotic resistance and general consumer pressure have led to a decline in antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) use in some parts of the livestock sector including bans in some countries (e.g. EU since 2006).
