Use of phytogenic products as feed additives for swine and poultry.
TL;DR: The authors summarizes the experi- mental knowledge on efficacy, possible modes of action, and aspects of application of phytogenic products as feed additives for swine and poultry. But the assumption that phytogen compounds might prove the palatability of feed has not yet been confirmed by choice-feeding studies.
