“…Likewise, results obtained by Çabuk et al (2006) indicated that the supplementation of a mixture of herbal essential oils to the diet of broilers could be improved feed conversion ratio. The results of the current study are in harmony with those obtained by Badawi et al (2016) and also by several previous findings which have been showed that adding medicinal plants and herbs to the diets of rabbits, chicks, sheep, cows and buffaloes could be improved their feed intake and nutrient digestibilities (Aboul-Fotouh et al, 1999 andEL-Ayek, 1999), feed conversion (Allam et al, 1999, Aboul-Fotouh et al, 1999, Salem and El-Mahdy, 2001, Hassan and Hassan, 2009, Al Rubaee, 2018and Khayyal et al, 2021. Previously, many findings proved that the herbal essential oil mixtures might be considering as a potential growth promoter for innovative nutritional management and dependently improving the animal's performance.…”

“…The estimation of Gasmi-Boubaker et al (2009) had estimated that the chemical composition of Rosmarinus officinalis that growing in the pastures of central Tunisia was contained 8.36, 34.5, 45.9 and 7.75% for CP, ADF, NDF and ash, respectively. Also, Moujahed et al (2011) reported that chemical composition of Rosmarinus officinalis was recorded 5.8% CP, and 6.2% ash, while El-Wardany et al (2015), Badawi et al (2016) and Bakr et al (2016) found that the chemical composition of Rosmarinus officinalis was within the following ranges 4.10-5.80% for CP, 13.37-21.71% CF, 9.23-16.32% EE and 5.23-6.20% for ash (on DM basis). Recently, Khayyal et al (2021) reported that the chemical composition of rosemary dry leaves was contained 6.…”

hirty does of Zaraibi goats were chosen at the third and fourth season of lactation, and randomly divided into five similar groups (6 does for each) according to their live body weight (33.75 ±0.42 kg) and fed the experimental rations for 4 months (one month before parturition to 3 months after parturition) as an experimental period to investigate the effects of including rosemary or laurel herbs as natural feed additives in their rations, on digestibility, productive performance, milk production and some blood parameters of goats. Rosemary dry leaves (RDL) or laurel dry leaves (LDL) were added to the concentrate feed mixture (CFM) portion of the rations at levels of 0, 0.5, 1, 0.5 and 1% along the whole duration of the experiment. Each group was assigned randomly to feeding one of experimental rations where R1(control): received 60% CFM +40% berseem fresh (BR), R2: 60% CFM +40% BR+ 0.5% rosemary dry leaves (RDL), R3: 60% CFM +40% BR+ 1% RDL and R4: 60% CFM +40% BR+ 0.5% laurel dry leaves (LDL), R5: 60% CFM +40% BR+ 1% LDL. The feed allowances were calculated according to NRC (2007) for goats. Five digestibility trials were performed to evaluate the nutrient digestibilities and feeding values of the experimental rations. Results indicated that chemical composition of RDL and LDL were contained

“…With 5 ml and 10 ml/L rosemary extracts, the death rate jumped by 8.3 and 16.7%, respectively, whereas the control group's mortality ratio remained at 25%. Therefore, chamomile has been shown to benefit lowering mortality rates (Badawi et al, 2016;Mousa et al, 2021).…”

Chamomile oil or extract, derived from the chamomile flower, is a natural remedy with various therapeutic properties. This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the medicinal properties of chamomile oil or extract including its antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. Chamomile oil has exhibited antibacterial and antifungal properties against various microbes, involving Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. It has also been found to regulate blood sugar levels in animal and human studies, making it a potential candidate for diabetes treatment. Moreover, chamomile oil has antitumor properties, as it can induce apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit their growth. In addition, chamomile oil has anti-inflammatory features, making it a possible option for treatment under inflammatory circumstances such as eczema, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Chamomile oil has also been found to have valuable impacts on poultry farming due to its antimicrobial properties. It may be utilized as an organic substitute for antibiotics in chicken production. It is effective against common poultry pathogens, including Salmonella and E. coli, and can also improve poultry growth and feed conversion rate. In conclusion, chamomile oil or extract are promising natural remedy with various therapeutic properties and useful impacts on poultry and small ruminants.

“…Amelioration of the drastic effects of HS on rabbits has been attempted using different procedures, including offering cool drinking water [14], using a short lighting regime [15], and providing vitamins in the diet [16] or drinking water [17]. Many medicinal plants can be used as promising growth promoters for improving the productive and reproductive performances of rabbits [18], especially under HS conditions, where herbs contain phytoestrogens as plant chemicals similar to sex hormones [19]. Additionally, medicinal plants have high antioxidant activity, and antioxidants play important roles in protecting animals against HS conditions.…”

Black Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.) Hydroalcoholic Extract as an Ameliorating Agent against Heat Stress Conditions of V-Line Rabbit Does

et al. 2022

Rabbits are sensitive to heat stress (HS) in hot regions due to difficulty in eliminating excess body heat. We evaluated the ameliorating role of black maca hydroalcoholic extract (BMHE) against HS conditions on the productive and reproductive performance of V-line rabbit does. Rabbits were divided into four equal groups (T1–T4), each containing three replicates. T1 received commercial basal diet (BD) only, whereas T2–T4 received BD and 200, 400, and 600 mg BMHE kg−1 body weight (BW) of doe day−1, respectively, administered orally for 1 week before the mating process each month from May to August. HS significantly decreased the BW of rabbits after the weaning period, as well as litter size, and litter weights measured 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after the postnatal period. HS conditions also significantly decreased BW at slaughter as well as all carcass quality parameters. HS led to significantly impaired physiological responses, oxidative status, and reproductive efficiency in exposed rabbits. Orally administered 400 mg BMHE kg−1 BW of doe alleviated all these drastic effects in HS rabbits among all treatments. Thus, oral treatment of 400 mg BMHE kg−1 BW (T3) is a promising ameliorating agent against HS conditions in V-line rabbit does, especially in tropical or subtropical regions.
