Abstract

Intensive animal production requires health strategies that combine effectiveness and economy. The pig chain exhibits high productivity with increasing demands in the aspect of animal health. The limitation of growth promoters in animal production generated the need for substitutes for these products. Organic and phytogenic acids have been used with this focus, and the many other benefits they develop are little explored or little known. The purpose of this review is to allow the poorly treated characteristics of organic acids and phytogenics to be fully known, potential substitutes for growth promoters.
