This study used pigs as an animal model for the assessment of the impact of consumption of Origanum vulgare plant extract combined with Mentha piperita and Thymus vulgaris essential oils on microbial profile in intestines. The results demonstrated that the combination of essential oils was non cytotoxic, and had a positive effect on the microbial composition in the large intestine of pigs due to significant increase in the number of probiotic bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Origanum vulgare plant extract, Mentha piperita, and Thymus vulgaris EOs and to evaluate microbial changes in the guts of pigs as experimental model by supplementing their diet with a combination of the aforementioned plant extract and two essential oils (EEOs) given in the form of bilayer coating tablets. ./cache/cord-013444-5aei9kaz.txt ./txt/cord-013444-5aei9kaz.txt
