EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Medicinal plants for higher animal welfare in pigs
What problem does the tool address?:	The use of antibiotics and synthetic anti-parasitic drugs can induce resistance in bacteria and parasites threaten-ing health and welfare of pigs in low-input and organic outdoor production systems. Subsequent consequences for production and reproduction have economic impact and jeopardize the farm sustainability.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Use medicinal plants instead of antibiotics or allopathic anti-parasitic medicines, improve health and welfare by controlling parasitic diseases and harmful bacterial load while enhancing the individuals’ immunity. Provide to pigs with a well-balanced, weight and age category tailored feed supplement formulated with selected, locally available medicinal plant powders.
