Eucalyptus plant is rich in monoterpenes, which play a significant role in the medicinal value of this plant. Its therapeutic properties include antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, respiratory diseases (such as asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis, colds and sinusitis), intestinal parasites such as Ascaris. Consumption of this plant in ruminants reduces the production of methane and ammonia nitrogen. In poultry farming, the use of eucalyptus essential oil improves heat tolerance in chickens, immune response, growth performance, increases carcass quality, and improves feed conversion ratio. Overall, this additive can help reduce bacterial infections and improve the general health of livestock and poultry.
