“…The concentration of NH 3 was lower in the fecal sample of pigs fed the diet containing QS compared to the pigs fed the CON diet (P < 0.05); however, the QS containing diet had no significant effects on the concentrations of fecal H 2 S or R-SH. Bartoš et al (2016) also demonstrated that growing-finishing pigs fed with diet containing 100 or 150 mg/kg phytogenic feed additive, which contained Quillaja saponin and other substances, emitted less NH 3 per animal per day. Due to the poor absorption characteristics of saponin (Li et al 2013;del Hierro et al 2018), it can have several effects in the gastrointestinal tract.…”

“…Kang et al (2010) observed that supplementing the diet of weaned pigs with 500 mg/kg triterpenoid saponin (Acantbepanax senticosus saponin) did not affect the ADG, ADFI, and FCR. Conversely, Bartoš et al (2016) demonstrated that growing-finishing pigs (mean BW, 45.4 ± 2.5 kg) fed a diet supplemented with 100 or 150 mg/kg phytogenic feed additive, containing Quillaja saponin and other substances, exhibited significantly improved ADG and ADFI, but the FCR was unaffected. Vaclavkova and Beckova (2008) noted that weaned pigs fed a diet supplemented with 125 mg/kg Quillaja saponin had higher feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency.…”

We evaluated the effects of Quillaja saponin (400 mg/kg) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal gas emissions, and meat quality in pigs when used as a supplement in a finishing pig diet. In total, 80 finishing pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average initial body weight of 61.53 ± 4.41 kg were used in a 61-day study. Pigs were allotted to one of two treatments according to initial body weight with 10 replicate pens per treatment and four pigs (two barrows and two gilts) per pen. The dietary treatments consisted of (1) a basal diet (CON), or (2) a CON + 400 mg/kg Quillaja saponin (QS) diet. The growth performance and nutrient digestibility were not affected by supplementing the diet with QS. The ammonia emissions were decreased by Quillaja saponin supplementation (P < 0.05). Pigs consuming the QS diet had a higher meat water-holding capacity (WHC) (P < 0.05) and a lower meat drip loss on day 7 (P < 0.05) compared to pigs consuming the CON diet. Our results indicate that a diet supplemented with 400 mg/kg Quillaja saponin can improve the meat WHC and drip loss, and reduced fecal ammonia emission.

Effects of adding protease with or without fructooligosaccharide (FOS) to low protein diet on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal noxious gas emission were evaluated in 160 finishing pigs (57.70 ± 1.16 kg) in a 9-week study. Pigs were randomly divided into four dietary treatments, PC: positive control diet (15.97% crude protein (CP)); NC: negative control diet (12.94% CP); PRO: NC supplemented with 0.05% protease; PROFOS: NC supplemented with 0.05% protease and 0.1% FOS. During weeks 4-9 and weeks 0-9, gain : feed ratio was impaired (P < 0.05) in pigs fed NC diet compared with those fed PC, PRO and PROFOS diets. Pigs fed PC, PRO and PROFOS diets had higher (P < 0.05) apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of CP than pigs fed NC diet. Pigs fed PROFOS diet had reduced (P < 0.05) ammonia emissions compared to pigs fed NC and PRO diets. These data indicate that reducing dietary CP concentrations impaired growth performance, decreased ATTD of CP and reduced ammonia emissions. Supplementation of protease in low CP diet improved growth performance and increased ATTD of CP. Dietary supplementation with protease and FOS in low CP diet improved growth performance, increased ATTD of CP and decreased fecal ammonia emission.

“…In addition, the effects on reproduction [ 17 ], milk [ 18 ], egg [ 19 ], and meat [ 20 ] quality parameters have been documented. Evidence has shown that PFA may minimize the environmental impact of the livestock industry by reducing emissions into the atmosphere of ammonia from pig production, and methane from fermentation in the rumen [ 21 , 22 ]. Foot dermatitis caused by increased levels of ammonia is used as a parameter to evaluate poultry welfare [ 23 ].…”

The inconsistency of phytogenic feed additives’ (PFA) effects on the livestock industry poses a risk for their use as a replacement for antibiotic growth promoters. The livestock market is being encouraged to use natural growth promotors, but information is limited about the PFA mode of action. The aim of this paper is to present the complexity of compounds present in essential oils (EOs) and factors that influence biological effects of PFA. In this paper, we highlight various controls and optimization parameters that influence the processes for the standardization of these products. The chemical composition of EOs depends on plant genetics, growth conditions, development stage at harvest, and processes of extracting active compounds. Their biological effects are further influenced by the interaction of phytochemicals and their bioavailability in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. PFA effects on animal health and production are also complex due to various EO antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-quorum sensing, anti-inflammatory, and digestive fluids stimulating activities. Research must focus on reliable methods to identify and control the quality and effects of EOs. In this study, we focused on available microencapsulation techniques of EOs to increase the bioavailability of active compounds, as well as their application in the animal feed additive industry.
