“…This lack of treatment effects in the present study may conflict with the literature described due to differences in cattle production system and dose of EO used. The lack of effects of EO on DMI corresponds with the lack of effects reported by Geraci et al (2012) and Carvalho et al (2021).…”

Effects of essential oils on the performance, health, and feeding behavior of growing cattle

Concerns and changes in policy related to use of antimicrobials in livestock has led to increased interest in using alternative feed additives such as essential oils (EO). Essential oils are plant secondary metabolites with characteristic odors. Essential oils are reported to alter ruminal fermentation (Hart et al., 2008) and animal performance (Calsamiglia et al., 2007). There is also evidence to suggest that EOs may manipulate feeding behavior in cattle (Tager and Krause, 2011). An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of a blend of EO in a commercially available complete feed (MFA Cattle Charge, MFA Inc., Columbia, MO) on performance, health, and feeding behavior of steers during the backgrounding phase. Eighty beef steers (initial BW = 267 [plus or minus] 2.6 kg) were obtained from 3 different sources and assigned risk groups based on distance traveled, previous health management, and incidence of disease. Pen fed EO tended (P = 0.09) to have a greater DMI than control. After 56 days on feed, steers exposedto moderate stress and fed EO had greater BW than steers exposed to moderate stress and fed control, but EO had no impact on final BW among steers exposed to small or large amounts of stress. Addition of EO did not have an effect on concentrations of anti-egg albumin IgG (P = 0.99). Under conditions of this experiment, inclusion of essential oils in a complete feed appeared to improve dry matter intake and weight gain in calves during the backgrounding phase. Meal intervals among calves in this study was 28 minutes and 40 seconds between the end time of a feeding event and start time of the next feeding event. Addition of EO to a complete feed influenced feeding rate through an interaction between treatment and days on feed (P = 0.02). Specifically, feeding rate was greater on days 11 and 44 in steers offered EO than steers offered control. Addition of EO to a complete feed may improve animal performance, health, and feeding behavior but under the conditions of this experiment, cattle source influenced the response to EO supplementation.

“…Furthermore, in this study, DMI can be considered high for feedlot Nellore cattle (11.5 kg/day or 2.5% of BW across treatments), although feed intake was ad libitum. In general, DMI ranges from 2.0 and 2.3% of BW in diets containing similar energy content (Ornaghi et al, 2017;Souza et al, 2019;Carvalho et al, 2021).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Nellore bulls finished in the feedlot and fed high-energy diets containing sodium monensin associated or not with tannins and saponins. Ninety-six Nellore bulls were used with an average initial body weight of 350.6±17.9 kg. The bulls were weight-blocked and randomly allocated to 12 pens, which were considered the experimental units. The treatments were assigned to the pens according to the blocks, as follows: sodium monensin (25 ppm; SM) and sodium monensin (25 ppm) plus tannins (350 ppm) and saponins (3.92 ppm, SM+TS). The bulls received an adaptation diet for the first 19 days, a growing diet from day 20 to day 59, and a finishing diet from day 60 to 98 of the experimental period. The animals were slaughtered after 98 days of study. The addition of tannins and saponins to the diets of feedlot Nellore cattle did not change the dry matter intake, hot carcass weight, and dressing percentage; however, it increased body weight by 2.0% and average daily gain by 5.4% and improved feed conversion by 4.3%. The addition of tannins and saponins to high-concentrate diets containing sodium monensin improves the productive performance of Nellore cattle finished in a feedlot for 98 days.

“…In fact, supplementing EOs to the diet resulted in improved dry matter, organic matter and NDF digestibility. The addition of mentioned EO increased the concentration of propionate causing the reduction of the acetate /propionate ratio [128]. Furthermore, in the study by Mottin and co-workers, the inclusion of clove, cashew, castor oil and a blend of eugenol, thymol and vanillin did not alter carcass characteristics, but it did alter the body composition of fat and muscle.…”

Sustainable Management and Valorization of Agri-Food Industrial Wastes and By-Products as Animal Feed: For Ruminants, Non-Ruminants and as Poultry Feed

Substantial increase in the production of agri-food commodities over the past years has resulted in the generation of enormous volumes of wastes and by-products, thus contributing to increased environmental pollution. Being an under-exploited raw material which are rich in bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols, dietary fibre, oils, essential vitamins, minerals, etc), novel strategies and initiatives have been proposed and implemented for the effective management and valorization of these wastes and by-products. The proposed initiatives and strategies support the concepts of EU circular economy and green biorefinery, thus promoting sustainability. One of the strategies of management of waste and by-products includes the effectual development of nutritious low-cost sustainable animal feed. Currently, in the world market, there are a range of fruit and vegetable wastes and by-products that have been effectively introduced in animal diets. Within this context, this systematic review focuses on a diversified group of agri-food wastes (and the industrial by-products), their bioactive components, the opportunities for the development of animal feed or feed supplements (for Ruminants, Non-Ruminants and as Poultry feed) and conclusively the health benefits imparted. In addition, the safety issues and regulations aspects are also covered.
