The thymol molecule is a food additive used to improve the efficiency of growth, development and feeding by enhancing digestive secretion and stimulating the digestive system's structure and work. In animal rations, the main application of thymol essential oil is used, especially as a natural diet additives to reduce harmful chemicals in a wide variety of animal species. In addition to reducing the problems of many animal diseases like cancer and certain other disorders, Thymol essential oil plays a key role in improving the nutritional bioavailability, reproductive and productive efficiency, overall fitness and immunity of animals.These functions can be due to the capacity of thymol to associate with cellular bioactive systems as anticancer, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, immunomodulators, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic factors by blocking free radicals and toxic constituents and its ability to manipulate intestinal microbiota equilibrium, improved digestion, metabolism and absorption The chemical composition and natural origins, physical properties and functional applications of thymol in fish feeding are elucidated by this study.
