Abstract
Scientists working in the field of animal nutrition have recently begun to pay more attention to biologically active substances contained in plants-phytobiotics. Their complex study (composition, effect on the body) is carried out only in the last 20-30 years. It was found that the use of plant components in animal husbandry (plant parts, essential oils, extracts) was accompanied by an increase in feed conversion, an overall improvement in production indicators, and an immunostimulatory effect.

The search, characteristics, and application of natural antioxidants is the focus of numerous research groups worldwide
The agents that boost the effect of other medicines due to the ability of flavonoids to suppress the mechanisms of multiple drug resistance (MDR), are produced
The term "phytobiotics" includes a wide range of substances of biological origin, which can be divided, into four groups: 1) herbs, 2) parts of the plant; 3) essential oils; and 4) oleoresins [4]
Summary
The search, characteristics, and application of natural antioxidants is the focus of numerous research groups worldwide. Natural antioxidants are one of the most popular substances in food production and agriculture [2]. It is believed that the antioxidant properties of plants are developed in the course of evolution – based on photosynthetic activity. Each species, subspecies, variety of plants can be an object for assessing the antioxidant potential [1]. The ideal antioxidant should be absorbed and have to prevent free radical formation at physiologically significant levels. According to conducted animal studies, the antioxidant activity of extracts from summer savory (Satureia montana L.) in general, as well as its polyphenolic fraction, in particular, was shown [2]
