Abstract

Non-nutritional feed additives are substances, preparations, and micro-organisms that are added to animal feeds to improve animal health and performance. They may impact the immune system, endocrine system, receptor sensitivity, microbiome, and gut health, among other things. They are not designed to be a source of nutrients to the host animal but may provide nutrients to the microbiome.
