Extracts of several Oriental and European herbs were tested for their inhibitory effects on volatile sulfur production in pig in vitro cecal fermentation. Some of the extracts, namely, Marrubium vulgare and Perilla frutescens, significantly decreased volatile sulfur and ammonia production. The present results indicate that some herb extracts might improve fecal malodor and possibly host health.
