When we want to eliminate the use of prophylactic antibiotics in animal feeds and look for alternative compounds, we need to keep in mind certain constrains. Most “natural” compound with alleged or purported antimicrobial activity are highly dependent on concentration so we need to consider the dilution factor of the digesta. Most of these compounds will only act in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract

The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) of the United States defines an antibiotic as a drug that kills, stop, or greatly reduced the growth rate of bacteria. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States defines drug as pharmaceutical agents or medications, prescribed by a physician or other authorized medical professional (including veterinarians), for the prevention or treatment of medical conditions or disease. Therefore, the definition of an antibiotic is a medication prescribed by a human or veterinary medical professional for the treatment of certain diseases causes by bacteria. Furthermore, all prescription medications have the expectation of safety and effectiveness. Thus, antibiotics are mediations with known safety, effectiveness, and side effects that have governmental approval to treat certain bacterial infections where their use outweigh the risks. The expectation of safety, effectiveness, and governmental approval is implicit when we use the term antibiotic to refer to medications authorized for medical use to treat bacterial infections. There are many compounds that can exert antimicrobial properties and are NOT considered antibiotics. For example, salt is an excellent antimicrobial agent that has been used for millennia to prevent food spoilage, but it is NOT consider an antibiotic. There is a plethora of compounds with known or purported antimicrobial properties that have no record of safety, effectiveness, or governmental approval to treat bacterial diseases and therefore we cannot and should not use the term antibiotic to refer to those compounds. Many organic acids, essential oil, plant extracts, phytochemicals, and more compounds can have an antimicrobial effect without being an antibiotic. The only replacement for an antibiotic is another antibiotic. When we want to eliminate the use of prophylactic antibiotics in animal feeds and look for alternative compounds, we need to keep in mind certain constrains. Most “natural” compound with alleged or purported antimicrobial activity are highly dependent on concentration so we need to consider the dilution factor of the digesta. Most of these compounds will only act in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract as they will not be absorbed and transported intact in systemic circulation to reach disparate tissues. In summary, do not confuse purportedly antimicrobial compounds with antibiotics and do not expect that the inclusion of one or more of these purportedly antimicrobial compounds to act or replace an antibiotic prescription medication.
