In farmed aquatic species, the benefits of phytogenic feed additives, or botanicals, have been reported in several scientific studies.
Their plant-derived active ingredients (e.g. phenols and flavonoids)
can exert multiple effects in animals, including improvement of feeding
conversion ratio (FCR), digestibility, growth rate, reduction of nitrogen
and phosphorous excretion, improvement of the gut microbiota and
health status.
