Abstract

Fusobacterium necrophorum commonly causes liver abscesses in grain-finished beef, which is mitigated using antibiotics in feed. However, microbial resistance development necessitates exploration of antibiotic alternatives. Here we report the antimicrobial efficacy of Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) crude oil extract and its constituents on Fusobacterium species.
