Abstract:

With the comprehensive prohibition of antibiotic feed additives in livestock production, Chinese herbal feed additives have gradually become the potential alternative antibiotics. After microbial fermentation, Chinese herbal medicine not only can increase the content of active substances and enhance the efficacy, but also produce new active ingredients and reduce the toxic side effects of Chinese herbal medicine. Supplementation of fermented Chinese herbal medicine can improve the production performance, alleviate the health statues, and enhance the products quality of livestock animals. This review summarized the characteristics of the fermented Chinese herbal medicines, discussed the influence of fermented Chinese herbal feed additive on animal production, and explored the problems existing in its application. Hoping to provide reference for the research and application of fermented Chinese herbal feed additives in livestock and poultry production.

Key words: fermented Chinese herbal medicine, feed additives, animal production
