Effects of essential oil compounds (EOC) on feed intake. ruminal fermentation. growth performance, and carcass characteristics were determined using, 60 lambs (24.6 +/- 0.77 kg initial live weight, LW) fed either a barley- or corn grain-based diet without supplementation (control), or supplemented with 0.2g/kg (DM basis) of carvacrol (CAR) or cinnamaldehyde (CIN). The experimental diets were arranged as a 2 x 3 factorial with 11-week periods and fed to lambs ad libitum. Ruminal pH tended (P=0.06) to he lower and total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration was higher (P
