“…The improved digestion confirmed that the dose of Marjoram or Basil oils were lower than that dose which destroys the activities of ruminal microorganisms (Walsh et al, 2003). These results were in agreements with Khattab et al (2020b) who found that the dry matter digestibility increased by thyme supplementation to ewes' diets (20g/h/d).…”

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.

“…No significant difference in dry matter (P = 0.2809), NDF (P = 0.9874) and ADF (P = 0.2089) degradability among groups. These results indicated that the concentrations of active components in marjoram or basil leaves insufficient to effect on the microbial activity in the rumen, and sequentially nutrients digestion [10,11,12,43].These results were agreement with Selim et al [15]who found no (p>0.05) variances in cellwall contents (NDF and ADF) degradability by marjoram or basil oils supplementations in-vitro. Also, Khattab et al [12] found the similar results when they used thyme and celery in in-vitro study.…”

Ruminal Fermentation, Degradability and Gas Production Response to Supplementing Diets with Marjoram or Basil Leaves In-vitro

Eleven experimental treatments were used by in (Origanummajorana L.) or basil (Ocimumbasilicum L. fermentation, ammonia nitrogen concentration, dry matter (DM) and cell wall contents (NDF and ADF) degradability. The basal diet consisted of a total mixed ration (TMR), the experimental treatments were used as follow: 50% CFM, 50% alfalfa hay (control), control diet plus 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 grams of marjoram or basil leaves / kg DM for G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, G9 and G10, respectively. No differences (p>0.05) were observed with marjoram or basil leaves supplementation in pH, DM, NDF and ADF degradability at all different levels compared with the control diet. Ammonia nitrogen and short chain fatty acid (SCFAs) concentrations reve with the control. Also, the experimental treatments recorded the lowest values (p<0.05) in total gas production (TGP), gas production per each gram of dry matter control group. It could be concluded that the addition of marjoram or basil leaves to diets had production without adverse effect on dry matter, and cell wall co

“…Key words: feed utilization, fennel, ginger, ionophores, milk fatty acids, milk production For many years, herbal and medicinal plants feed additives have been used to stimulate appetite and digestion in ruminants and keep animal's health (Cedillo et al, 2015;Salem et al, 2017). Moreover, phytogenic compounds have been used in lieu of performance promoters (i.e., antibiotic ionophores) (Matloup et al, 2017;Khattab et al, 2020). Phytogenic additives include, for example, essential oils, herbs or seeds (Abd El Tawab et al, 2020).…”

The supplementation with herbal and medicinal plants to animals showed positive effects on feed digestion, performance and animal’s health. Fifteen multiparous Egyptian buffaloes (537 ± 18.1 kg body weight), 7 days after parturition, were randomly assigned to 3 treatments in a quintupled 3 × 3 Latin square design in a 63-day experiment. Each experimental period lasted 21 days (15 days of adaptation + 7 days for measurements and sample collection). Buffaloes were assigned according to their previous milk production, weight and parity to study the effect of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) or ginger (Zingiber officinale) supplementation on feed utilization and lactational performance. Buffaloes were fed a basal diet of concentrates, berseem clover and rice straw in a ratio of 60:30:10 dry matter (DM) basis. The first group fed the basal diet with no additive as the control treatment, while other buffaloes were fed on the basal diet supplemented with 75 g fennel or ginger/buffalo daily. Additives supplementation did not affect feed intake; however, fennel followed by ginger improved (P<0.05) dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber digestibilities compared to the control. Without affecting blood chemistry, fennel and ginger supplementation improved (P<0.05) production of milk and energy corrected milk, fat concentration and milk energy content and output. Fennel followed by ginger decreased the somatic cell count (P=0.035) compared with the control. Fennel and ginger improved feed efficiency (P<0.05) compared with the control. Fennel increased the proportion of milk trans-10, cis-12 C18:2 (P=0.028), total conjugated linoleic acid without affecting other fatty acids. It is concluded that fennel or ginger at 75 g/buffalo/d improved nutrient digestibility and milk production of lactating buffaloes. Fennel improved milk nutritive value than ginger.
