Abstract: Rosmarinic acid is a natural phenolic acid compound widely found in many plants,which can be isolated from plants in the family of Comfrey,Cucurbitaceae,and Labiatae,etc.It possesses a variety of biological functions such as anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,bacteriostatic,anticancer,and antiviral,and it is widely used in the fields of food,medicine,and cosmetics.In veterinary clinics,rosmarinic acid and its source plants are widely used in the production of a variety of economic animals,such as pigs,poultry,ruminants,aquatic animals and rabbits,and have broad application prospects in regulating the intestinal microbial community,improving the immunity of the organism and production performance.In this paper,a systematic review of the biological functions of rosmarinic acid and its applications in the production of a variety of economic animals was conducted with the aim of providing references for the basic research on rosmarinic acid as well as its further application and promotion in animal production.

Key words: rosmarinic acid; biological function; animal production
