Résumé
Gastro-intestinal infections in pigs reduce the welfare of the animals, increase the mortality and pose a serious problem both in organic and conventional pig production. Large amounts of antibiotics, zinc and copper are used for the treatment and prevention of diarrhea and infections in conventional pig production, and to some extent also in organic production. Most of this is used for weaning piglets. A high consumption of antibiotics can cause problems due to the development of multi resistant pathogens that are dangerous to humans. The increasing use of zinc and copper also poses a problem to the environment, because these metals are spread with the slurry and will be accumulated in the farm land. Hence, there is a need for alternative solutions. The use of plants with antibacterial effects as supplementary feeding for piglets might reduce intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea.
