• Effect of garlic powder on performance and lipid profile of broilers (2012, background): “The active principles of essential oils act as a digestibility enhancer, balancing the gut microbial ecosystem and stimulating the secretion of endogenous digestive enzymes and thus improving growth performance in poultry [36-38].”
• Performance, immunity, serum biochemical and hematological parameters in broiler chicks fed dietary thyme as alternative for an antibiotic growth promoter (2010, neutral): “Furthermore, Allen et al. (1998), Denil et al. (2004) and Cross et al. (2007) reported the beneficial effects of thyme in poultry production.”
• Beneficial effects of phytoadditives in broiler nutrition (2013, background): “They therefore represent very important part of the current literature on phytoadditive applications in broiler nutrition (Horosova et al., 2006; Cross et al., 2007; Puvača, 2008; Stanaćev et al., 2010; 2011a).”
• Effect of the Three Herbal Extracts on Growth Performance, Immune System, Blood Factors and Intestinal Selected Bacterial Population in Broiler Chickens (2011, result): “Results of studies by some other investigators are also in agreement with the present findings (Cross et al., 2002; 2007; Bampidis et al., 2005; Demir et al., 2003; Lee et al., 2003).”
• Use of essential oils in poultry nutrition: A new approach - (2014, background): “Thus, EOs can be used as growth promoters in animal production (Cross et al., 2007; Kirsti et al., 2010).”
• Phytogenic additives and organic acids in broiler chicken diets (2012, background): “However, studies have shown that the use of plant extracts and essential oils may not improve AME values and protein and dry matter metabolizability (Cross et al., 2007; Muhl & Liebert, 2007; Barreto et al., 2008; Rizzo et al., 2010).”
• Growth Performance, Meat Quality and Caecal Coliform Bacteria Count of Broiler Chicks Fed Diet with Green Tea Extract (2011, positive): “The growth promoting agents may have more impact when the diet used is less digestible and well-nourished, healthy chicks do not respond to antibiotic supplements provided that they are housed under the clean and disinfected conditions (Lee et al., 2003; Hernandez et al., 2004; Cross et al., 2007; T”
• Thyme oil (Thyme vulgaris L.) as a natural growth promoter for broiler chickens reared under hot climate (2017, methodology): “In the literature, thymol, carvacrol and linalool are the major components in the TO, which are found to have antioxidant, antimicrobial and digestion-enhancing effects (Cross et al. 2003; Bozkurt et al. 2012; Sethiya 2016).”
• Dietary modulation of gut microflora in broiler chickens: a review of the role of six kinds of alternatives to in-feed antibiotics (2009, background): “While comparing the effects of various herbs and oils on broiler performance, Cross et al. (2007) concluded that the quality as well as the quantity of active chemicals in plant extract determines bird response.”
