Essential oils have multiple desirable properties which can have beneficial effects on animal performance, such as finishing pigs, when added to their rations.

Role of phytogenic feed additives in animal nutrition
The strategic and innovative encapsulation process is a new benefit which enables essential oils to have a longer shelf life by protecting from environmental impacts, partly masking strong odor whilst maintaining key features of enhancement of palatability, stability in ration, improved digestion and, consequently, better performance.
Examining biodiesel oxidation
EVEN WITH VOLATILITY in the pricing of crude oil, work is continuing to improve the viability of biodiesel as an alternative.
As discussed in an article published recently in ‘Tribology & Lubrication Technology’ (TLT), the many challenges in working with biodiesel include suitable feedstocks, cost-effective processing and preparing a final product that meets industry specifications.
