Abstract
The positive effects of phytogens on the growth, health, immunity and productivity of animals have been proven and they are often used in the form of essential oils and herbal extracts. There is evidence supporting the ability of phytogenic compounds, including extracts from alfalfa seeds, herbs, and essential oils, to influence the digestive system. We propose to study the innovative phytobiotic (Orthília secúnda) and adaptogenic (Velvet antlers) additives for animal nutrition. In this article we use a completely new technology of vacuum drying, which will allow phyto-additives to preserve all beneficial biological properties and be included in the diet of animals immediately after drying. Our new technology of vacuum drying will increase the shelf life of the supplemental product and receive the additives with predictable chemical composition and properties.
