Abstract

Abstract: With strict restrictions on the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry worldwide，seeking safe and effective alternatives has become an important issue in the field of animal production. Plant derived antibacterial substances have attracted much attention due to their natural，safe，and environmentally friendly characteristics. Among them，cinnamaldehyde，as an active ingredient from cinnamon essential oil，has shown great potential for application in pig production due to its significant biological activity. The article analyzes the antibacterial，anti-inflammatory，antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities of cinnamaldehyde，reviews the research progress of its application in pig production，and explores its practical effects and mechanisms in promoting growth performance，improving intestinal health，optimizing growth environment，and preventing and treating diseases. In terms of growth performance，adding cinnamaldehyde to feed can improve the average daily weight gain and feed conversion rate of pigs，thereby bringing economic benefits to producers. In terms of improving intestinal health，cinnamaldehyde can reduce the occurrence of intestinal diseases such as diarrhea by maintaining the balance of intestinal microbiota and enhancing intestinal barrier function. In terms of optimizing the growth environment，the use of cinnamaldehyde reduces the emission of harmful gases and improves the quality of the aquaculture environment. In terms of disease prevention and treatment，the application of cinnamaldehyde has also shown positive effects. In the future，further research is needed on the mechanism of action of cinnamaldehyde to better understand and utilize its biological functions in pig production，and more clinical trials should be actively conducted to verify its effectiveness and safety in different breeding environments and pig breeds. The article aims to provide useful references for researchers and producers in related fields，and lay a solid foundation for further research and application of cinnamaldehyde in pig production.
