 Abstract. Over the past decades, the use of antibiotics has been the main way to prevent disease in order  to  improve  performance  in  livestock production. However, due to the unjustified use of the latter, there is a risk to increase the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this regard, almost everywhere, the tendency towards complete or partial rejection of such drugs is consistently implemented. In recent years, many researchers working in the field of feeding of farm animals have paid attention to biologically active substances formed in plants - phytobiotics. It has been proven that phytobiotics improve the functions of the immune system, have a significant effect on the health of animals and increase productive qualities. Among the factors that determine the relevance of the development of highly effective phytobiotics in animal husbandry, it is possible to attribute the fact that the global use of phytobiotics as an alternative to various antimicrobial drugs will not only lead to the protection of health and maximize animal productivity, but will also ensure the solution of public health problems, including the problem of improving safety. food products, by eliminating the cumulative effects of antibiotics in animal products (milk, meat). This review examines the possibility of using phytobiotic supplements as an alternative to conventional antimicrobial drugs (antibiotics), including in the case of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Keywords: animal husbandry, animal feeding, phytobiotics, plant extracts, feed antibiotics, resistance, productivity
