Abstract

Silymarin is a kind of Compositae herb with strong adaptability, drought resistance and cold resistance, which is planted all over the world. As a kind of economic crop for both medicine and food, silymarin has antioxidant, immune regulation, liver protection and other functions. In this paper, the biological function of silymarin and its application in animal husbandry were reviewed, which provided a powerful reference for the development and research of silymarin.
