Abstract

Essential oils are secondary metabolite from some plants. Some of their biological activities include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects amongst others. It has been reported essential oils could promote animal productive performance, enhance animal immunity and antioxidant ability, and regulate the balance of intestinal micro flora. This article mainly aimed to review the effects of essential oil on animal productive performance and immunity enhancement and its mechanism.
