Effect of a herbal preparation including nanoencapsulated thymol, carvacrol and cinnamaldehyde in feed on production parameters in the farrow-to-wean sector
The use of the preparation positively influenced the number of piglets sold, with 88.5% reaching the market in the experimental group compared to 82.6% in the control group. In addition, fewer abortions and less lameness were observed in the experimental group than in the control group. The piglets born of control group sows performed worse economically than piglets born of experimental group sows, requiring feeding or being sold underweight.
