This up-to-date and well-researched exploration calls upon the latest scientific knowledge regarding these additives and their potential use as flavoring agents and growth promoters in different animals worldwide—from pigs and poultry to ruminant mammals and aquatic species. It also highlights results from in vitro experiments as well as in vivo trials and shows how these tests have practical implication of phytogenic feeding concepts. Recognizing that the mechanisms in these additives are versatile and still need additional elucidation and scientific proof, this examination intends to help scientists and the feed industry further develop the group of feed additiv
