<i>In vitro</i> screening of essential oil blends, probiotics and prebiotics to optimize post‐weaning in artificially reared ruminants: effects on rumen fermentation and gut health indicators in Caco‐2 cells
Modulating rumen fermentation during the post-weaning in artificially reared lambs is challenging due to their immature rumen microbiota, absence of protozoa, and low rumen pH. Nevertheless, this in vitro study suggests that certain BEOs may enhance intestinal health by improving cell viability and reducing inflammation. Further in vivo studies are needed to confirm these findings. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
