Abstract:

The physical properties of plant essential oils are reviewed, and the main classification, efficacy and mechanism of plant essential oils, their application in pig and chicken, and the problems in the development are briefly described. We point out that plant essential oils can improve animal production performance, enhance immunity and promote healthy growth of animals. The study shows that there is no uniform standard for plant essential oils as feed additive in production and product quality evaluation at present, resulting in the intermingled quality of essential oil products. Therefore, some steps should be taken to strengthen the production process, the supervision and management, and relevant systems, to promote the healthy and rapid development of plant essential oils.

Key words: Plant Essential Oil, Mechanism, Production Performance, Bacteriostasis, Immune Mechanism
