“…The antimicrobial effects of phytobiotics have been the subject of numerous studies and have consequently been extensively investigated (53)(54)(55).The majority of these studies have shown that phenolic components, such as thymol, carvacrol, limonene, geraniol, phenylpropane, and citronellal, are among the most potent antimicrobials (3). When it comes to the mechanisms of action, the variation in the composition of phytobiotic components has been found to significantly impact the way they act (56,57).…”

“…A variety of literature has proven the positive effects of phytobiotics, which include several beneficial outcomes. These effects encompass enhanced growth of beneficial microbes in the gut, as well as antioxidative, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties ( 3 , 42 ). These functional activities of phytobiotics have been attributed to various bioactive compounds present in them.…”

“…Plant species such as coriander, ginger, curcuma as well as those rich in flavonoids (in green tea) and anthocyanins (in various fruits) have antioxidant activities ( 24 , 25 ). Studies showed black pepper, red pepper and chilli also possess antioxidant properties, however, most of these plants are restricted from being added specially in swine feed because of the pungent smell and taste of the active substances of these plants ( 3 ).…”

“…Nutraceuticals refer to substances that are produced in a purified or extracted form and administered to animals with the purpose of improving their health and well-being (2). This group includes various types of substances such as enzymes, synbiotics, organic acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phytobiotics (3,4). Phytobiotics, a specific type of nutraceuticals, are non-nutritive plant-derived natural bioactive components that can be used as feed additives (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

With the ban on antibiotics in the swine industry, the exploration of alternative options has highlighted phytobiotics as a promising substitute for antibiotic growth promoters, aiming to foster a more sustainable swine industry. Phytobiotics are non-nutritive natural bioactive components derived from plants that offer numerous health benefits. They exhibit antioxidative, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects. Phytobiotics can be utilized in various forms, including solid, dried, ground, or as extracts, either in crude or concentrated form. They are characterized by low residual levels, a lack of resistance development, and minimal adverse effects. These qualities make phytobiotics an attractive choice for enhancing health and productivity in swine, presenting them as a viable alternative to antibiotics. While there is a general understanding of the effects of phytobiotics, there is still a need for detailed information regarding their effectiveness and mechanisms of action in practical settings. Therefore, the purpose of this mini review was to summarize the current knowledge supporting the roles of phytobiotics and their proposed modes of action, with a specific focus on swine.
