Application of Antimicrobial Peptides as New Antibiotic Substitutes in Livestock and Poultry Breeding

Abstract:

Antimicrobial peptides, also known as antimicrobial peptides, are important components of biological innate immunity. It has a broadspectrum antibacterial effect and is not prone to drug resistance. As a feed additive, antimicrobial peptides can promote growth, prevent diseases and improve the body's immunity. As a veterinary drug, it can treat various bacterial and viral diseases and various parasitic diseases. The function of antimicrobial peptides in livestock and poultry farming is gradually being developed, which is expected to be developed as a substitute for antibiotics and widely used in livestock and poultry farming. This article systematically analyzes and discusses the antimicrobial peptides derived from livestock from the structure, use and mechanism of action, as well as their application in the field of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine.
