Abstract:

Plant essential oils are characterized by favorable antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. As feed additives for livestock and poultry, they have such advantages as good safety, high efficacy, minor toxic and side effect, and low residue level, giving them great development potential and research value in becoming substitutes for in-feed antibiotics. This paper introduces the physicochemical properties of plant essential oils, summarizes the plant essential oil microencapsulation process and preparation methods, and reviews the research progress in application of plant essential oils in livestock and poultry farming, in hoping to provide references for the research and development of plant essential oil microcapsule preparations for livestock and poultry use and for the scientific application of plant essential oils in livestock and poultry production.

Key words: plant essential oil, microcapsule, livestock and poultry, antibiotic substitution
