“…Essential oil of Mentha piperita significantly increased blood glucose levels in rams when supplemented at the rate of 30 ml/kg DM. These results are in agreement with those of other workers who fed Essential oils to the sheep and early lactation goats (Kamruzzaman et al, 2011;Kholif et al, 2012). In accordance with previous studies (Devant et al, 2007;Chaves et al, 2008;Tassoul and Shaver, 2009;Yang et al, 2010), essential oil supplementation did not significantly affect the blood glucose concentration.…”

The present study aimed to estimate the effect of Mentha piperita essential oil on biochemical and haematological parameters of sheep. A total number of 16 rams (3-4 years old) were randomly distributed into four treatments based on the essential oil dose: control (T1), 10 (T2), 20 (T3) and 30 ml/kg (T4) dry matter. The serum biochemical and plasma haematological parameters measured in the study included blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein (TP), albumin, globulin, white blood cell count (WBC) and red blood cell count (RBC). The results indicated that glucose concentration increased significantly (P<0.05) in T4 compared to the control. No significant difference was found in cholesterol, triglyceride, BUN, total protein, albumin and globulin between the control and treated groups. In addition, WBC was significantly (P<0.05) high in T3 compared to the control. We concluded that alfalfa and barley silage treated with Mentha piperita essential oil improved glucose and WBC count in rams.

“…Garlic (Allium sativum L., Liliaceae family), has been used as a spice and as folk medicine since antiquity (Rivlin, 2001). Researchers have shown that the major sulphur-containing compounds in intact garlic are ɤ-glutamyl-S-allyl-l-cysteins and Sallyl-l-cysteine sulphoxides (alliin), which are converted into thiosulphinates (such as allicin, the main major bioactive component) via enzymic reactions (activation of allinase by crushing cloves or wetting powder) when raw garlic is processed (Amagase, 2006;Kamruzzaman et al, 2011).…”

“…Some studies carried out on ruminants have shown that garlic extracts improved the efficiency of nutrient use by decreasing energy loss as methane or ammonia nitrogen in continuous rumen culture (Cardozo et al, 2005;Kamel et al, 2008, Kamruzzaman et al, 2011. Additionally, Busquet et al (2005), using the same in vitro system, showed that 300 mg/L garlic oil reduced the proportions of acetate and branched-chain volatile fatty acids (VFA), and increased the proportion of propionate and butyrate and small peptides (Busquet et al, 2005).…”

Potential of white garlic powder (<i>Allium sativum</i> L.) to modify <i>in vitro</i> ruminal fermentation

The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of increasing doses of garlic powder (GaP) on in vitro fermentation characteristics. Two successive 24-hour incubations were run, and gas production was measured at the end of each incubation period. Liquid samplings for each dose were reserved to determine ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) and true organic matter degradability (TOMD). Partitioning factor (PF) was estimated as the ratio between TOMD and the gas produced at 24 hours of incubation. Microbial biomass (MBM) was estimated on the bases of truly degraded substrate and PF. Results showed that gas production increased (P <0.001) with the addition of 32 and 64 mg GaP. An increase (P <0.0001) in NH 3 -N concentration was recorded with 4 mg and 8 mg GaP compared with control, whereas adding 32 and 64 mg resulted in a NH 3 -N concentration equivalent to control (averaged 39.25 mg/100 ml). The propionate (C3) increased with doses and the highest proportion was noted with the addition of 8 mg GaP (P <0.001). The TOMD was similar for all the doses except for 64 mg GaP, where a slight but significant (P <0.001) increase was noted (77.7%). GaP did not affect PF and MBM values until the dose of 64 mg. It was concluded that GaP added to a ration composed of 50% roughages and 50% concentrate did not result in drastic modifications of in vitro rumen fermentation parameters, except at the highest dose (64 mg), where an increase of gas production, TODM, PF and MBM were noted.

“…However, the use of garlic by-products as a source of animal feed is still the most promising and viable route for efficient utilization of this waste resource [2]. Previous studies on garlic stalk silage have indicated that it contains a moderate amount of protein (9.3–13.0%) and a high concentration of NDF (48–59%) [4, 9, 10], which may be a potential source of roughage for ruminant animals. In general, the use of human-inedible resources, such as garlic stalk, as a source of animal feed would help to minimize the problem of feed inadequacy, potentially reducing feed costs, which constitute the majority of production costs, and reducing the problems associated with the disposal of this waste resource.…”

“…However, to efficiently utilize garlic stalk in ruminant diets, accurate information on the ruminal degradation kinetics of its nutrients is required. Recently, Kamruzzaman et al [10] reported that replacing 10% of hay (orchardgrass and reed canarygrass) with garlic stem and leaf silage in sheep diet resulted in greater N and energy utilization without detrimental effects on ruminal fermentation. Chu et al [9] reported an improvement in meat quality and economic income when garlic stalk silage was fed to steers during the fattening period.…”

BackgroundVery limited information exists on the ruminal degradation kinetics of nutrients in garlic stalk. The present study aimed to survey the annual yield of garlic stalk in Korea and determine its feed-nutritive value for ruminants.MethodsIn Experiment 1, garlic stalk was incubated in situ in the rumen of two Hanwoo steers (360 ± 15 kg body weight) and removed after 12, 24, or 48 h to determine the ruminal degradation kinetics of DM and NDF. Rice straw was also included for comparison. In Experiment 2, In Experiment 2, six male Corriedale sheep were randomized to two dietary treatments to determine the apparent digestibility of nutrients in garlic stalk. Diets included a control ration without garlic stalk (60% concentrate mix +40% ryegrass) or a treatment ration (70% control diet +30% garlic stalk).ResultsThe Korean national yield of garlic stalk (sun-dried basis) in 2016 was estimated to be 31,910 tons, with the southern coastal regions producing the highest quantity. Compared with rice straw, garlic stalk had lower NDF, higher ADF, and greater effective degradabilities of DM and NDF, resulting in a greater TDN value (56.3%), which was higher than that obtained for rice straw (43.7%).ConclusionThese results provide basic information on the ruminal DM and NDF degradation kinetics of garlic stalk, which would be helpful for the efficient utilization of this by-product in ruminant diets.
