Research Progress on Biological Functions of Plant Essential Oils and Their Regulation on Intestinal Health in Piglets
Plant essential oils are aromatic compounds extracted and refined from flowers,leaves,roots,fruits,or seeds of plants.They have many biological functions such as anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,and antioxidant,with a wide range of sources,minimal toxic side effects,and they are not prone to developing drug resistance.As a substitute for antibiotics,they are widely used in piglet production.This article provides a review of the classification,physicochemical properties,biological functions,and effects of plant essential oils on the intestinal health of piglets,in order to provide reference for the efficient application of plant essential oils in piglet production.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(12):7493-7501]
