Animal feeds are routinely subject to contamination from different sources which includes bacterial and fungal origin.
Growing concern over resistance to antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria has resulted in increasing public and government pressure to reduce the use of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed.
