“…Consistent with the present study, they observed supplemental α-amylase increased DMI by an average of 5.2%. Meschiatti et al [ 7 ] observed a 2.3% increase in DMI of feedlot steers supplemented with the combination of α-amylase (560 mg/kg diet DM) and essential oils (90 mg /kg diet DM). Valdés et al [ 36 ] observed an 11% increase in DMI and a 22% increase in ADG of lambs fed a maize silage-based diet (70% maize silage and 30% concentrate) supplemented with an enzyme mixture alone (α-amylase, endoglucanase, and xylanase).…”

“…Current interests in limiting the use of conventional antibiotics as feed additives in livestock production, has led to the search for “generally-recognized-as-safe” additive alternatives. Previous reports [ 6 , 7 , 8 ] indicate that mixtures of essential oils may result in similar or even greater enhancements in growth performance than MON. These effects may not be attributable to changes in digestion, as the effects of supplemental essential oils on total tract digestion are not appreciable [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Two experiments were conducted to compare a supplemental blend of essential oils alone (EO) or combined with enzymes (EO + ENZ) versus virginiamycin (VM), on characteristics of growth performance (Exp. 1) and digestion (Exp. 2) in finishing lambs. Lambs were fed a high-energy finishing diet supplemented with: (1) no supplement (control); (2) 150 mg supplemental EO; (3) 150 mg supplemental EO plus 560 mg alpha-amylase (EO + ENZ); and 4) 25 mg VM. Compared with the control, growth performance response to EO and VM were similar, enhancing (5.7%, p < 0.05) feed efficiency and observed dietary net energy. Compared with control, supplementation with EO + ENZ tended (p = 0.09) to increase dry matter intake (6.8%), improving (p < 0.05) weight gain and feed efficiency (10.4 and 4.4%, respectively). Dietary energy utilization was greater (2.7%, p < 0.05) for EO and VM than EO + ENZ. Treatment effects on the carcass and visceral mass were small, but additive supplementation decreased (p ≤ 0.03) the relative weight of the intestines. There were no treatment effects on measures of digestion nor digestible energy of the diet. Supplemental EO may be an effective alternative to VM in high-energy finishing diets for feedlot lambs. Combination EO + ENZ may further enhance dry matter intake, promoting increased weight gain.

This review examines the role of nutritional strategies to improve lifetime performance in ruminants. Strategies to increase ruminants' productive longevity by means of nutritional interventions provide the opportunity not only to increase their lifetime performances and their welfare, but also to decrease their environmental impact. This paper will also address how such nutritional interventions can increase herd efficiency and farm profitability. The key competencies reviewed in this article are redox balance, skeletal development and health, nutrient utilization and sustainability, which includes rearing ruminants without antibiotics and methane mitigation. While the relationships between these areas are extremely complex, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to develop nutritional strategies that would allow ruminants to become more resilient to the environmental and physiological challenges that they will have to endure during their productive career. As the demand of ruminant products from the rapidly growing human world population is ever-increasing, the aim of this review is to present animal and veterinary scientists as well as nutritionists a multidisciplinary approach towards a sustainable ruminant production, while improving their nutrient utilization, health and welfare, and mitigation of their carbon footprint at the same time.
