Abstract

Berberine is a potential substitute for antibiotics because of an array of physiological functions as well as characteristic pharmacological properties. This review provided an introduction regarding the basic characteristics and pharmacokinetic characteristics of berberine, with a focus on its physiological functions. Studies about the application in animal production of berberine were also included. The review could provide some scientific evidences for the application of berberine in the animal husbandry practise.
