“…Tea saponin's biological qualities can be employed to restrict methane production [65], lower rumen protozoan numbers, and regulate rumen fermentation patterns [34,66]. To back this up, Liu et al [67] found that dietary TS supplementation improved organic matter (OM), Decreased the area, length, and number of eggs from the recovered Haemonchus contortus parasite and improved fecal consistency, promoting a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal health of lambs [37] Pediococcus spp. Improved lamb growth and maximized economic efficiency of production.…”

Sheep play a significant role in agriculture, serving as a primary source of meat, milk, and wool fiber. They constitute a unique class of animals distinguished by their specialized digestive organs. As our population increases, there is a high demand for sheep meat and products from developed and developing countries. In livestock production, disease poses a significant challenge, and the use of antimicrobial and antiparasitic drugs facilitates the control of infections, thereby improving animal welfare, health, and productivity. The use of antimicrobials in sheep farming has become prevalent and has led to antimicrobial resistance. This chapter will focus on the alternatives to antimicrobials used in sheep and how they benefit sheep health and production.
