Effects of microencapsulated plant essential oils on growth performance, immunity, and intestinal health of weaned Tibetan piglets
Our findings suggest that different microencapsulation techniques affect the effectiveness. Dietary supplemented with PEOs, especially HSPEO, increased growth performance, improved immune function, and optimized gut microbiota composition of weaned piglets, making it a promising feed additive in piglet production.
