“…Using medical plants in animal diets had no negative effect on activity and growth of the major cellulolytic bacterial population (74). Mixture of thyme plus celery could be alternate for ionophoresin the ruminant diets to enhance ruminal fermentation, reducing gas production without any negative effect on nutrients degradability (75). Use herbal plant as improved immune response in ruminants Immune response is a natural process that takes place in the body, so one of the best ways to boost immunity is to supplement diet with natural herbs.…”

The purpose of this review is to summarize the effectiveness, modes of action and commercial application of herbal plants and their derivatives as growth promoters for animal. As described in literature, the increase in the growth of farming prices and feed costs for small ruminant in general, led to increases difficulties in production of livestock. To dissolve this issue, several studies concentrated on new alternative of feed resource, but others have tried to enrich milk products and meat by rising polyphenol compounds content to their by introductions of herbal plants in sheep and goat feed. Currently, consumers demand safety and the quality of feeding. Since antibiotics can be leave residues in ruminant tissues, that could induce subsequent emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms capable of endangering the health of livestock and human. This scenario has given the impetus to explore alternatives to antibiotics in animal nutrition. Consequently, as replacement for the synthetic growth promoter’s antibiotics, natural products like herbs and spice as natural feed additives come to the attention to enhance physiological functions. So, the use of feeds containing bioactive compounds such as thymol, flavonoids, saponins, limonene, thymoquinone, essential oils and others which concentrated in different parts, such as leaves, roots and seeds that can be used for these purpose in animal feed and responsible for the healthy animal product. Furthermore, one of the hot points in the advanced research is the stability of animal product against the oxidative deterioration process that limits the shelf life.

“…Essential oils are commonly used as feed additives to animals as therapeutics and/or prophylactic to some metabolic disorders as well as, improve feed efficiency. Several studies were carried out to investigate plant secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, coumarin, alkaloids, saponins and essential oils and their usage as natural ruminal modifiers (Knapp et al, 2014;Ishlak et al, 2015;Cobellis et al, 2016;Ali et al, 2016;Abd El Tawab et al, 2020 and2021). Generally, the active components of essential oils revealed an antibacterial effect by deactivation of some microbial enzymes (El-Zaher et al, 2020).…”

“…Many medical plants such as cinnamomum, rosemary, lemongrass, coriander, thyme, galangal and celery contained essential oils have been suggested on adjusting rumen fermentation and inhibition of deamination and methanogenesis, resulting in lower ammonia nitrogen, methane production and acetate, A and in higher propionate and butyrate concentrations also, decreased ruminal bio-hydrogenation (Matloup et al, 2017;Khattab et al, 2016;2017;2020a;Abd El Tawab et al, 2020 and2021).…”

“…Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is a phenolic monoterpene that has antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Dorman andDeans, 2000 andWalsh et al, 2003). Also, it has been able to reduce methane production or acetate, increase propionate production, and modify proteolysis, deamination or peptidolysis in the rumen (Calsamiglia, et al, 2007 andAbd El Tawab et al, 2021). Thus, the current study was aiming to investigate the effect of using different levels of Marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) or Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) essential oils as a natural feed additive on ruminal fermentation, total gas production, ammonia nitrogen concentration, and dry matter, NDF and ADF degradability.…”

n in-vitro study was carried out to investigate the effect of using different levels of the essential oils of Marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) or Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) as a natural feed additive on ruminal fermentation, total gas production, ammonia concentration, dry matter and cell wall contents (NDF and ADF) digestibility. Eleven experimental groups were used by invitro batch culture technique. The basal diet consisted of a total mixed ration (TMR) in all treatments, the experimental treatments were: 50% CFM, 50% alfalfa hay (control), control diet plus 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ml of Marjoram oil or Basil oils / kg DM for T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10, respectively. No differences (p>0.05) were observed between Marjoram or Basil oils in pH, NDFd and ADFd at all different levels compared with the control diet. Ammonia concentrations showed significant (p<0.05) decreased for all the experimental diets compared with the control diet, except T6. Also, short chain fatty acid (SCFAs) contents were decreased for all treatments compared with control, except T8 and T9. The values cleared that Marjoram oils supplementation to diets showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in total gas production versus control which recorded the highest value (128 ml) except T8 and T9. There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in dry matter degradability (DMd) between T4 and T9 compared with the control. Cell wall contents (NDF and ADF) digestibility values were not significant affected by oils supplementations. It could be concluded that supplementation of Marjoram or Basil oils to diets had negative influence on ruminal fermentation parameters (SCFAs, ammonia and total gas production). The Marjoram oil showed significantly superior DM degradability and reduction total gas production compared to the Basil oil.

“…One possible way is the use of feed additives (Wenk, 2000). Recently, researchers have focused on investigating the use of feed additives as digestive system regulatory agents (Tawab et al, 2021;Ogunade & McCoun, 2021;Seifdavati et al, 2021). The development of methods that allow accurate and reliable determination of digestibility, which is one of the factors that determine the feed quality, has been the focus of researchers' interest for many years.…”

Researchers have recently focused on studies involving the improvement of feeds and their digestibility using different feed additives. These studies include feed additives such as probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, organic acids, and phytobiotics. Feed additives added to feeds at appropriate levels increase the amount and quality of animal products, digestibility of feeds, feed consumption, and feed utilization. Various methods have been developed to determine digestibility, which is one of the determinants of the quality of feeds, accurately and reliably. Since chemical analyses do not reveal the actual value of feed or feed additives, various digestive experiments such as in vivo, in situ, and in vitro digestibility have been developed and used. In vivo experiments are reliable, but they have disadvantages of being cumbersome and expensive. Consequently, in vitro experiments have been preferred more recently due to easier execution in a short time span at cheaper costs, lesser requirement of feed material, and controlled experimental conditions. This review is aimed to highlight the available information regarding the use of feed additives in in vitro rumen digestion experiments.
