The important aim of animal industry is the production of ecologically clean animal products. It is known that the wide use of synthetic hormones for stimulation of reproductive functions had shown numerous negative consequences, most important being their ability to accumulate in meat and milk. During the last 10 years the researches concerning the use of natural bio stimulants for reproduction have progressed. In this literature preview the experience in application of different bio stimulants from plant and animal products (placenta, colostrum, plant extracts, plant hormone) is described, which can improve the male and female reproductive functions of domestic animals.
