Resumen:
Some additives are used to enhance production performance by increasing the utilization of
food by the animals. This research seeks to clarify the basis of the scientific literature, the
efficiency of use of feed additives in monogastric, and demonstrate the functions of some
additives, as well as its influence on the performance and animal health, and deduct it can
cause harm to human health. There are no studies showing that the use of antibiotics as
additives can lead to the development of resistant bacteria, probiotics and prebiotics but
present themselves as an alternative to using these. Still, it is important to search for new
ways to increase the use of nutrients through increased additive action, allowing the use of
alternative foods, and decreasing production costs.
