“…Lonicera japonica extract is widely used in pharmacological preparations, cosmetics, food, and animal husbandry because of its diverse pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-microbial, antiviral, antitoxic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties (Kang et al, 2010;Park et al, 2012;Yejun et al, 2019). The application of L. japonica extract in animal production mainly focuses on pigs (Liu W. et al, 2016), beef cattle (Yejun et al, 2019), dairy cows (Ma et al, 2020b;Zhao et al, 2020), broiler (Müştak et al, 2015), laying hens (Long et al, 2018), Penaeus monodon (Chen et al, 2013), grass carp (Meng et al, 2019), and olive flounder (Dharaneedharan et al, 2016). From the results of these studies, L. japonica extract can function as a potential alternative antibiotic in animal feeds.…”
