Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytotherapy is the usage of plant-based products as medications to cure or to prevent disease. Since ancient times, herbal extracts were used not only to alleviate human disease, but also for curing animals. Nowadays, a high number of studies used animal models to prove the efficiency of various plant compounds; however, the effective use of phytotherapy in veterinary medicine is still undervalued. Why veterinary practitioners are less interested in phytotherapy remains an open question, but we appreciate that there is a significant potential for phytotherapy in both pet animal medicine and organic/bio farming animal breading.
This Special Issue aims to promote phytotherapeutic remedies in veterinary medicine; therefore, we welcome original studies and reviews focusing for phytotherapy in various fields of veterinary medicine, veterinary applied microbiology, plant compounds toxicology, plant-based pharmacology, improvement feed strategies in veterinary medicine, or other related aspects.
