“…These results back up the additive supplementation’s cardiovascular beneficial effects. Because the additives mixture may contain phenolic compounds that elicit antioxidant action by scavenging reactive oxygen species, enhancing cellular antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase), and increasing glutathione, the fennel essential oil increased HDL cholesterol and triglycerides and decreased MDA [ 52 ].…”

In the current study, fennel essential oil was used as an antibiotic alternative compared to gentamycin for enhancing the expression of apoptosis genes and antioxidant enzymes in weaned rabbits as well as meat quality and growth performance. The gene expression of the cell lymphoma 2 (BAX and BCL2), caspase3 (CASP3), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) were estimated in the liver tissue using qRT-PCR. A total of 45 Moshtohor weaned male rabbits aged four weeks were randomly allocated to control, T1, and T2 treatment groups; each consisted of 15 weaned male rabbits with five replicates. Rabbits in the T1 and T2 groups were orally supplied with 1 mL fennel oil and 1 mL gentamycin, respectively. Weaned rabbits under different treatments showed increased body weight (BW) at 8 and 12 weeks of age and average daily gain (ADG) at 4–8 and 4–12 weeks of age compared to the control group. Compared to the controls, the weaned rabbits supplemented with fennel oil and gentamycin had lower total cholesterol, triglyceride, and MDA. In addition, villus length, mRNA of BAX, BCL2, Casp3, and GPX were increased in the different treatments compared to the control. Furthermore, the meat of these rabbits was less tender, had a lower aerobic plate count (APC), pH, and was brighter and redder in color than the control. Under the conditions of the present study, the supplementation of weaned Moshtohor rabbits with fennel oil as a natural alternative for gentamycin enhanced feed conversion and daily gain through enhancing villus length and mucus thickness. Additionally, fennel essential oil reduces oxidative stress by increasing the antioxidant enzymes.

“…For instance, the use of thyme oil was non-significant to the growth performance of rabbits [ 3 ]. El-ghadid et al [ 4 ], reported different results, where thyme oil improved the final body weight (BW) and reduced the feed conversion ratio (FCR) among rabbits. That study also reported a decrease of cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL.…”

“…Com o uso de aditivos químicos ocorre maior preocupação a respeito da toxidade e quanto aos resíduos de metabólicos na carne, somando o aumento da resistência de bactérias do intestino do ser humano (ELGHALID et al, 2020). Assim, justifica-se a procura por alternativas que promovam resultados similares e sem risco a saúde.…”

RESUMOObjetivou-se estudar o processo digestivo de bovinos de corte com relação ao uso de óleos funcionais como aditivo na dieta de bovinos de corte, a digestão dos alimentos ricos em forragem e grãos no rúmen, a ingestão dos alimentos fontes de ácidos graxos de cadeia curta (AGCC), pelo processo fermentativo no rúmen, seguindo o processo de absorção pela parede ruminal, os efeitos metabólicos dos ácidos graxos voláteis (AGV's) e os efeitos dos ionóforos. Os ionóforos mais utilizados no mercado nacional monensina, lasalocida, salinomicina e os óleos funcionais, atuantes na fermentação ruminal influenciam na produção de bactérias Gram-positivas, disponibilizando maior teor de AGCC, propionato no organismo, com consequência positiva a redução na produção de metano e óxido de carbono, mediante a fermentação ruminal. Os óleos funcionais, como alternativa para a substituição de ionóforos sintéticos e em eficiência na manutenção da estabilidade do pH ruminal, proporcionam efeitos de consumo e desempenho (GMD) satisfatórios. Assim, podem ser utilizados como aditivos na dieta de bovinos de corte, associando a novos estudos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Eficiência produtiva, ionóforos, nutrição.
