Farm animals which usually end up on plates sprinkled with herbs and spices 
are to get an unexpected taste of garnish for themselves. 
Biologists at Leeds University are to investigate the potential of thyme, 
garlic, cinnamon and other natural products as replacements for the antibiotics 
and steroids the European Union is banning in two years' time. 
Fortunate herds of pigs on the university's Yorkshire test farms will be 
treated to swill enhanced with aniseed and garlic will be tried in cattlecake to 
see if they have the same digestion-assisting effects as current drugs.
