Special Issue Information
The aim of the Special Issue is to present current research on the possibility of pathogen control in livestock production using alternative methods to antibiotics.This is necessary because of the increasing drug resistance among bacteria as a consequence of antibiotics use. The current legal regulations significantly limit the use of antibiotics in animal production, and many particular groups of chemotherapeutics in EU countries are banned.
