“…Ocimum sanctum reduced somatic cell count in dairy cows dosed orally and reduced inflammation (Shafi et al, 2016). Reshi et al (2017) evaluated intra-mammary infusion of Fumaria indica and Adiantum capillus plant extracts against subclinical mastitis finding antibacterial properties. A review of medicinal plants from the Kashmir Himalayas compiled by Mushtaq et al (2018) indicated that traditional plants have antimicrobial potential against mastitis pathogens.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of supplementing dairy cows with mixtures of polyherbal products supplying conjugates of choline (BioCholine, BC), lysine (OptiLysine, L) and methionine (OptiMethionine, M), considering the costs of veterinary treatments, the nutraceutical effects of the mixtures, the partial cost and returns of milk production. Eighty postpartum Holstein cows were randomly assigned to individually receive. The pellets no containing (Control, 20 cows) and containing polyherbal products (g/d) (BC20, 19 cows; BC40, 17 cows; BC20+L40+M20, 12 cows, and BC40+L80+M40, 12 cows) were offered to cows during the milking through automatic feeders in the course of 90 days in a commercial farm. Treatment costs were grouped in terms of antibiotics, healing, anti-inflammatories, glucogenics, hormonal, intra-mammary treatments, restorative and vitamins. Milk production was not affected (P>0.05) by polyherbal additives but there were numerical differences in the number of treatments and costs; animal health cost per cow showed a high variation coefficient (average 347%). Cows receiving BC40 and BC20+L40+M20 had reduced animal health cost per cow but only the treatment BC40 showed residual effects post experiment with an economic improvement of 2.1% over the control group, showing benefits associated to a reduction in the number of doses with antibiotics and doses of immune-stimulants. Cows receiving BC40 had the best milk yield numerically in combination with the lower number of animal health costs which resulted in the highest income.

“…Other EO, such as those extracted from Lavandula angustifolia and Origanum vulgare, were studied for their effects via intramammary infusion and/or external application at the quarter and demonstrated antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus spp, and Streptococcus spp 12,13 . The EO from Origanum vulgare and Satureja montana were investigated for their effects on milk, by determining their antibacterial and antioxidant activity, as well as Fumaria indica, Nepata cataria, and Adiantum capillus, with promising results 14,15 .…”

Essential oils (EO) are known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as an alternative to reduce the reliance on antimicrobials in dairy cattle. While many studies have explored the beneficial properties of EO in vitro, their effects on milk quality and milk microbiota, when applied directly to the udder skin, remain relatively unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Thymus capitatus EO (TCEO) on milk microbiota, lipidomic profile and inflammatory biomarkers in dairy cows at the end of the lactation period and udder skin microbiota. Sixteen quarters from 12 Holstein cows were selected, and TCEO was topically applied to the udder skin twice a day for seven days. Milk was collected aseptically at days 0, 7, 21, and 28 before morning farm milking. The results showed no significant changes in microbiota composition after the EO treatment. TCEO had a limited impact on the milk lipidome, primarily affecting diacylglycerol components at T21. The treatment did not affect inflammatory biomarkers, milk sensory properties, and quality. Our study demonstrates that applying 10% TCEO on cow's quarters does not significantly alter milk quality or microbiota composition in milk and skin, suggesting its safe use in dairy cows.

Potential effects of essential oils in safeguarding the health and enhancing production performance of livestock animals: The current scientific understanding

The food sector competes in a cutthroat environment, and it constantly struggles to maintain or even grow its market share. For customer confidence and consumption to remain strong, consistent animal products are needed. The qualitative attributes of the derived goods appear to be improved by the addition of bioactive substances to food, such as essential oils (EOs), and consumers are shielded from the impacts of bacterial and oxidative deterioration. Due to the current controversy surrounding synthetic chemicals and their alleged carcinogenic potential, a substantial study has been done to find effective and safe substitutes. Aromatic plants and the corresponding EOs from them are considered natural products and are typically employed in ruminant nutrition. Since dietary supplementation has been demonstrated to be an easy and practical method to successfully suppress oxidative processes or microbial deterioration at their localized sites, the addition of EOs in animal diets is now becoming a regular practice. However, there is just a little amount of evidence supporting the notion that these compounds may improve nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal health. Additionally, a variety of factors affect how well EOs works in animal diets. These variables can be, on the one hand, the erratic composition, and the many additions to the diet, and, on the other hand, erratic animal genetic elements. Maximizing the use of EOs and creating high-quality products require a deeper understanding of the composition and activity of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota. Numerous EOs contain bioactive substances with the potential to serve as multifunctional feed supplements for animals, with impacts on growth performance, the digestive system, the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and lipid oxidation, among others. To establish their regular use in animal production and to determine their precise mechanism of action, more research is required. The potential advantages of EOs for livestock health and production are highlighted in the current article.
