Origanum Oil

Origanum oil, commonly known as oregano oil, is an essential oil extracted from species of the Origanum genus, typically Origanum vulgare. It contains active compounds such as carvacrol and thymol, which are responsible for its strong aroma and antimicrobial properties.

In animal nutrition, origanum oil may be used in small amounts as a natural preservative or to support gut health through its antimicrobial and antioxidant actions. It is often included in botanical blends or feed additives, particularly in livestock.
