Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) are extensively used in swine production because of their bioactive action in gut health. In addition, some EOs have the potential to reduce waste emission. The present study aimed to find an optimal combination of carvacrol, thymol and cinnamaldehyde to promote nitrogen utilization and reduce waste emission by a model in vitro and an animal study.
Subjects
carvacrol; cinnamaldehyde; microbial urease; nitrogen metabolites; thymol; waste emission
