Description
Producing animals without using feed-grade antibiotic growth promoters and chemical medicines is essential. In response, many scientists are now studying medicinal plants and herbs to identify and quantify those plants that may have a beneficial effect on animal production. Plantains have been used in herbal medicines and are being evaluated as a potential pasture species because of their medicinal values in animal health. In this study, antioxidant activities of plantains were compared to those of common pasture species to clarify the effects of plantains on animal health and production.
