EOs can act as an antioxidant to prolong the shelf life of feed and the meat produced from animals fed EOs.

-
EOs can improve the balance of microbiota in the digestive system, which can improve nutrient absorption. EOs can also increase the production of digestive enzymes.
-
EOs enhance poultry production by stimulating the activity of various digestive enzymes, decreasing the number of fermentation products.

Thank you Dr Kim and Dr Jeffrey for the good observation made.
-
Essential oils (EOs) can be used as an alternative to antibiotics in poultry diets because they have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties
-
Jeffery has made some very good points about feed additives and their use – he is correct in stating the only thing that can replace an antibiotic is another antibiotic – nonantibiotic additives can improve animal/bird health and lessen the likelihood of needing to administer an antibiotic.
