Biological activities of plant essential oils and their application in piglet production
Since the application of antibiotics in aquaculture has been limited,plant essential oils,as a green,efficient and safe alternative to antibiotics,have attracted more and more attention in improving animal performance and raising profits,and have been widely used in animal production.The intestinal development of weaned piglets is not complete,and diarrhea often occurs due to the influence of various factors in the feeding process,which affects the production performance.Plant essential oil has antibacterial,antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,which can effectively improve the structure of intestinal flora,promote the healthy development of intestinal tract and increase the growth rate of weaned piglets.This article reviewed the physicochemical properties,biological activities and applications of plant essential oils in piglet production.
