Effects of Plant Extracts on Meat Quality, Intestinal Microbiota and Resistance to Diseases and Stresses of Food Animals

With the complete prohibition of feed antibiotic additives in many countries and regions, including China, the United States, and Europe, studying and developing efficient new green feed additives with plant extracts and their ability to mitigate various problems in livestock and poultry breeding have gradually become a key focus of animal science research.

In this Special Issue, we compiled research articles and reviews on the effects of plant extracts on meat quality, intestinal flora, resistance to disease, and stress in edible animals, highlighting current knowledge and future directions in this field.
