Houttuynia cordata Thunb.extract in pig production:a multifaceted alternative to antibiotics with antimicrobial,antioxidant,and health-promoting properties
摘要 This review explores the feasibility of Houttuynia cordata Thunberg extract as a viable substitute for antibiotics in swine husbandry,emphasizing its multifaceted activities against microbial infections,oxidative stress,and inflam-matory responses.The extract improves intestinal health,boosts immune responses,and enhances reproductive performance in pigs,tackling key challenges such as antibiotic resistance and oxidative stress.Key bioactive com-pounds,including flavonoids(quercetin,hyperoside)and volatile oils(2-undecanone),exhibit dose-dependent efficacy against pathogens such as Salmonella,PRRSV,and Staphylococcus aureus.This work underscores the dual role of the extract in improving pig productivity and reducing reliance on conventional antibiotics,suggesting a paradigm shift in sustainable livestock management.
