“…Besides, very few data available on the effects of EOs on DM intake, milk production, composition, and body growth of ruminants. Oregano increased the rumen fermentation, FI, DM digestibility, and feed efficiency along with reduction in methane production and ammonia nitrogen (Tapki et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). Moreover, the addition of a mixture of essential oils (MEO) in the diet increased the average daily gain, live weight, FCR, and nutrient digestibilities (Giller et al, 2020).…”

“…They represent a wide range of biologically active compounds like phenolic and terpenoids which possess a variety of functions with health-related benefits and nutrigenomics implications on the development of the gut and immunity (Christaki et al, 2020). In terms of ruminant nutrition, EOs enhance animal performance, manipulate rumen fermentation such as increase protein metabolism, reduce ammonia and methane production, improve volatile fatty acids (VFA) proportions and target some ruminal microorganisms like methane-producing archaea and hyper-ammonia producing (HAP) bacteria (Campolina et al, 2020;Hart et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2020;Tapki et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). They also possess remarkable effects on monogastric animals like improve digestive secretions, body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), meat, and egg qualities (Ismail, El-Gogary, and El-Morsy, 2019;Masood et al, 2020;Sariözkan et al, 2020;Yalçin et al, 2020).…”

This review is aimed at providing basic and current knowledge about possible mechanisms and nutritional applications of essential oils (EOs) for food animals. Public concern on the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock production has started extensive research to find safe and efficient options. EOs extracted from aromatic plants are known to have a range of biologically active properties that can be applied to modern animal production. Primarily, EOs possess anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and digestion enhancing effects as they improve digestive enzymes, improve feed conversion ratio, modulate ruminal fermentation, add antioxidant properties, and underpin animal immunity. The dietary supplementation of EOs demonstrated as a simple and proficient approach to enhance the performance of livestock. However, mechanisms involved in enhancing animal performance, modulating ruminal fermentation, and microflora are still unclear. Moreover, limited information is available regarding interactions among feed, EOs, and gut ecosystem of animals. EOs could be used as nutraceuticals with possible commercial applications in modern animal nutrition such as antimicrobials, antioxidants, growth promoters, and immunomodulators, alternatives to chemical feed additives. This knowledge encourages further investigations about EOs to realize their full potential and build up their standard use in livestock production.

“…Supplementing the starter feed [0.4% (but not 0.8%) dietary DM vs. CON] of Holstein dairy calves (Saeedi et al, 2017) or fattening diet [1.5% (but not 0.75%) dietary DM vs. CON] of Kermani lambs (Hajalizadeh et al, 2019) with FSP increased the feed intake, feed efficiency, and growth rate (Saeedi et al, 2017;Hajalizadeh et al, 2019), reduced the weaning age (Saeedi et al, 2017), and had hepato-protective effects (Hajalizadeh et al, 2019) as evidenced by decreasing blood concentrations of aspartate transferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT), suggesting that FSP might protect liver damage or prevent hepatic dysfunction. Supplementing the liquid feed with oregano essential oil [at 100 mg/L (but not 150 mg/L) vs. CON] increased the overall calf BW gain (but not weaning weight) and feed efficiency, and (Tapki et al, 2020).…”

“…As a preventive measure, conventional antibiotics are added to liquid or starter feeds, which may also lead to increased feed consumption and growth; however, the use of conventional antibiotics in animal-agriculture settings has been banned due to public health concerns and antibiotic resistance (Hajalizadeh et al, 2019). Therefore, there has been growing interest in the use of herbal plants such as fennel (Foeniculum vulgare; Saeedi et al, 2017;Kargar et al, 2021;Nowroozinia et al, 2022) and oregano (Origanum vulgare; Selvi and Tapki, 2019;Tapki et al, 2020) as nutraceutical products in stimulating the growth and health of young animals.…”

“…The beneficial effects of these plants have been ascribed to their bioactive components with appetite stimulant properties mediated by essential oils, mainly trans-anethole in fennel (Saeedi et al, 2017;Hajalizadeh et al, 2019;Kargar et al, 2021) and carvacrol in oregano (Lei et al, 2018;Bosco Stivanin et al, 2019;Tapki et al, 2020), immune enhancing activity (Hashemipour et al, 2013;Badgujar et al, 2014), hepato-protective effects, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential (due to compounds such as essential oils, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and others), antimicrobial properties (due to oleic acid, linoleic acid, 1,3-benzenediol, undecanal, 2,4-undecadienal, and 5-hydroxy-furanocoumarin in fennel and carvacrol in oregano; Badgujar et al, 2014;Hashemipour et al, 2013;Ri et al, 2017), and modulation of the digestive processes (Hashemipour et al, 2013;Saeedi et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2021).…”

dence interval = 1.03-2.05), and diarrhea (odds ratio = 1.47 and confidence interval = 1.11-1.97 and odds ratio = 1.49 and confidence interval = 1.07-2.08) compared with those receiving FSP or OLP; with the chance of BRD being lower in FSP-(but not OLP-) supplemented versus CON animals (odds ratio = 1.59 and confidence interval = 1.13-2.23). As compared with OLP and CON groups, FSP treatment resulted in shorter days with elevated rectal temperature and general appearance. Supplementing FSP or OLP decreased the duration of diarrhea and BRD but not their frequency compared with CON. Duration of diarrhea was not different between FSP-or OLP-supplemented calves but calves supplemented with FSP had shorter days with BRD compared with OLP-supplemented calves. Of the blood constituents measured on d 30, concentration of aspartate transferase was higher in FSP-(but not CON) versus OLP-supplemented calves, indicating a transient liver tissue damage or dysfunction which was subsequently ameliorated. At weaning, blood concentration of triglycerides was higher in FSP and OLP groups compared with CON group. Supplementation of the liquid feed with FSP or OLP, especially FSP, had beneficial effects on calf growth performance and health. Further experiments are warranted for optimizing the dosage and duration of feeding FSP or OLP as feed additives for dairy calves.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of ginger liquid extract (GLE) on the growth, immune response, antioxidative defence mechanism, and general health of Holstein calves. Sixteen calves (4-d old) were included in the experiment and randomly assigned to groups, and they were fed whole milk containing GLE at a rate of 0, 0.50, 0.72, and 1% of the milk amount consumed. Calves consuming 1% GLE were weaned at an earlier age and gained better body weight (BW) compared to the other groups. The group fed with 0.50% GLE consumed less daily starter than the other groups. The administration of GLE resulted in a non-significant decrease in fecal score (FS), the number of days with diarrhea (DDN), and illness (IDN) among the calves. Notably, the 1% GLE exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of E. coli, while its effect on the growth of other pathogenic bacteria was not statistically significant. Despite the non-significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidative status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) values, the 1% GLE demonstrated support for antioxidative defence mechanism and immune response. The results indicated that 1% GLE can be effective in promoting the health of calves by enhancing their immune response and antioxidant capacity. This suggests that incorporating 1% GLE into their overall well-being, potentially leading to improved health outcomes and performance in calf rearing operations.
