Use of herbs and spices and their extracts in animal nutrition (2009, background): “Besides the effect on bile synthesis and enzyme activity, extracts from herbs and spices accelerate the digestion and shorten the time of feed/food passage through the digestive tract (platel and Srinivasan, 2001; Suresh and Srinivasan, 2007).”
Black Pepper and its Pungent Principle-Piperine: A Review of Diverse Physiological Effects (2007, background): “The gastrointestinal food transit time was significantly shortened by dietary piperine (Platel and Srinivasan, 2001).”
The effect of herbs and their associated essential oils on performance, dietary digestibility and gut microflora in chickens from 7 to 28 days of age (2007, background): “In rats, the dietary inclusion of spices has increased the endogenous secretion of enzymes, bile acids and pancreatic juice (Platel and Srinivasan, 2000, 2001, 2003), and reduced the transit time for digesta passage (Platel and Srinivasan, 2001).”
