“…In this study, the addition of TS essential oil at the levels of 10 and 15 μl per kg LW of lambs did not adversely affect LW or LW gain. The intake of concentrate feed and lucerne hay was similar which is in accordance with the results of other in vivo studies examining thyme oil and active compounds of this genus (carvacrol, thymol, γ-terpenene and p-cymene) (Bampidis et al, 2005;Chaves et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2009;Vakili et al, 2013). Simitzis et al (2008) also observed that supplementation of concentrate feed oregano essential oil (1 ml · kg −1 ) did not affect LW or LW gain.…”

“…In this study, no statistically significant effect was seen, although a certain improvement revealed daily live weight gain, feed consumption and feed efficiency (Table 2). Our findings are in agreement with the previous literatures [9,24] . Unal and Kocabagli [8] has also reported that, thyme essential oil added to lamb rations did not affect the cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL ratios of the blood serum among the groups but changed within the groups depending on the time.…”

“…Unal and Kocabagli [8] reported that, dietary supplementation of oregano to lambs' ration had no effects on performance parameters. Information related to oregano growth promoting effects when added to sheep diets is scarce [9] . In this study, the effect of Orego-Stim was determined on the performance and some blood parameters in the ruminants to the determined details of the effect on the antioxidant metabolism through LPO and GSH rates with SOD and CAT activities in the meat and liver tissue.…”

Citation of This ArticleGümüş R, Erol HS, İmik H, Halıcı M: The effects of the supplementation of lamb rations with oregano essential oil on the performance, some blood parameters and antioxidant metabolism in meat and liver tissues. Kafkas Univ Vet Fak Derg, 23 (3): 395-401, 2017. DOI: 10.9775/kvfd.2016 AbstractIn this study, the effects of oregano essential oil, on performance, some blood parameters, the antioxidant metabolism such as lipid oxidation (LPO) and glutathione (GSH) levels with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities in the liver and the Musculus longissimus dorsi (meat) tissue were investigated. The study consisted of three groups; the control group fed a basal ration, the OEO1 group fed a basal ration added 200 mg/kg Orego-Stim and the OEO2 group fed a basal lamb ration added 400 mg/kg Orego-Stim. The groups did not differ for performance parameters. In groups control and OEO2, serum calcium and potassium levels were significantly higher than the group of OEO1 (P<0.05). However, the serum magnesium level were significantly higher in OEO1 group (P<0.05). While there are no meaningful changes on superoxide dismutase activity, LPO and GSH rates with CAT activity had significant changes in liver tissue (P<0.05). LPO and GSH levels with SOD and CAT enzyme activities were significantly affected in M. longissimus dorsi tissue (P<0.05). As a result, while oregano essential oil did not affect the performance parameters and lipid profile, it significantly affected the antioxidant metabolism in meat and liver tissues.

Çalışma üç grup halinde yürütülmüştür. Gruplandırma ise bazal rasyon verilen kontrol grubu, bazal rasyona ilave olarak 200 mg/kg Orego-Stim verilen OEO1 grubu ve bazal rasyona ilave olarak 400 mg/kg Orego-Stim verilen OEO2 grubu şeklinde yapılmıştır. Grupların performans parametreleri arasında fark bulunmamıştır. Kontrol ve OEO2 gruplarının serum kalsiyum ve potasyum seviyeleri OEO1 grubuna göre yüksek bulunmuştur (P<0.05). Ancak serum magnezyum seviyesi OEO1 grubunda daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (P<0.05). Karaciğer dokusunda süperoksit dismutaz aktivitesine önemli bir etkisi olmazken, LPO ve GSH oranları ile CAT aktivitesini önemli olarak değiştirmiştir (P<0.05). M. longissimus dorsi dokusunda LPO ve GSH oranları ile SOD ve CAT enzim aktivitelerinin önemli oranda etkilendiği belirlenmiştir (P<0.05). Sonuç olarak kekik yağının performans parametreleri ve lipid profilini etkilemediği, karaciğer ve kas dokularında antioksidan metabolizma ü...

“…Furthermore, no other study is available to compare beef cattle performance when fed essential oils. Bampidis et al (2005) evaluated performance and carcass characteristics of growing lambs fed dried oregano leaves, containing carvacrol and thymol. No differences in lamb performance or carcass characteristics were noted when dried oregano leaves were fed at levels of 0, 144, or 288 mg/kg of concentrate mixture.…”

Thirty six Hanwoo steers (average BW, 564.5 ± 25.7 kg; average age, approximately 23 months) were used to evaluate the effects of a mixture of eugenol (14%), thymol (1%) and malate (85%) on growth performance, beef quality and liver function in Hanwoo finishing steers fed ahigh-concentrate diet. A feeding trial was conducted for 7 months in National Agricultural Cooperative Federation farm located in Anseong, Korea. Steers were assigned randomly to one of three treatments: control (without additive supplementation), treatment 1 (0.05% additive of concentrate), treatment 2 (0.1% additiveof concentrate). The results of this study showed that initial and final BW averaged 564 and 755 kg, respectively, and BW gain was significantly higher (P<0.05) for steers fed the additive mixture than for those fed no mixture (0.78 and 0.79 vs. 0.69 kg/d, respectively). Serum aspartate aminotransferase in the T2 treatment was decreased during the 24 to 31 months of age. Although supplementation of additives resulted in no substantial effect on carcass characteristics, it had a potential effect to improve feed efficiency and AST concentration in Hanwoo finishing steers fed a high-concentrate diet. In conclusion, a mixture of eugenol, thymol and malate has shown promise in improving feed efficiency and liver function in the finishing phase of Hanwoo steers.
