Progress on the application of Chinese herbal medicines in the prevention and treatment of pig diseases
and risks of food security caused by the traditional prevention and control of antibiotics have become increasingly prominent with the continuous promotion of policies on reducing and limiting the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry. Chinese herbal medicines have a wide range of resources
diverse pharmacological effects
and natural advantages of low residue
low drug tolerance
and high safety. It is a high-quality resource of prevention and control suitable for the development of green farming industry. This article systematically reviewed relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years
comprehensively elaborated the mechanism of action of Chinese herbal medicine in preventing and controlling pig diseases
classified and summarized the pharmacological characteristics of antibacterial
antiviral
and health promoting in Chinese herbal medicines. The clinical effects of single herbs and classic compound formulas on bacterial and viral diseases in pigs were summarized. These herbs can inhibit pathogens
enhance the immune system of body
improve clinical symptoms of diseases
and reduce losses caused by diseases in farming. The current bottlenecks in the application of traditional Chinese medicine mainly including the unclear definition of the substance basis of pharmacology
the target of action
inconsistent system of evaluating quality
and the lack of standardized clinical data were pointed out. It will provide insights and references for overcoming these shortcomings in the application of Chinese herbal medicines in preventing and controlling pig diseases.
