“…Fennel and ginger supplementation enhanced fiber digestibility (NDF by 9.7 and 7.8%, respectively), which may be due to that the ability of plant secondary metabolites to increase cellulolytic bacterial number (Giannenas et al, 2011;Ebeid et al, 2020a). Fennel contains anethole, limonene, α-pinene, fenchol, fenchone and estragole (Hajalizadeh et al, 2019), while ginger contains camphene, neral, β-bisabolene, ar-curcumene, β-eudesmol and other compounds that have antimicrobial activities against ruminal protozoa but without any negative effects on ruminal cellulolytic activity (Benchaar et al, 2008;Ebeid et al, 2020b).…”

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.

“…The improved ruminal VFA concentration with PHY3 treatment could be the consequence of the enhanced nutrient digestibility (Pino and Heinrichs, 2016;Kholif et al, 2018a). The concentrations of total VFA and their individual proportions solely depend on feed digestion and rumen microflora activity (Morsy et al, 2015;Ebeid et al, 2020a). Additionally, the catalytic effect of trace minerals on enzymatic processes and structural and stabilizing functions on microorganisms can modify the metabolism of rumen bacteria and affect rumen fermentation (Durand and Kawashima, 1980).…”

The present experiment evaluated the inclusion of chelated phytogenic feed additives mixture in the diet of lactating cows for the first 3 months of lactation. A week before calving, thirty multiparous Friesian cows were divided into three treatments in a complete randomized design and fed a basal diet without supplementation (Control treatment), or the control diet supplemented with chelated phytogenic additives at 3 g (PHY3 treatment), or at 6 g/cow/d (PHY6 treatment). Menthol, levomenthol, β-linaloolm, anethole, hexadecanoic acid and pmenthane were the principal compounds identified in the additives mixture. Milk production, total solid, protein, fat, and lactose were increased with PHY3, but decreased by PHY6 (P<0.01). Whereas the PHY3 treatment increased (P<0.05) milk contents of Ca and Zn, PHY3 and PHY6 treatments increased (P<0.05) milk Fe and Mn concentrations. Though the PHY3 treatment increased (P<0.05) nutrient digestibility, the PHY6 treatment decreased (P<0.05) the digestibility of organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber. The PHY3 treatment increased (P<0.05) ruminal volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration and proportional acetate and propionate and decreased butyrate, while the PHY6 treatment decreased ruminal VFA concentration and proportional acetate. The PHY3 treatment increased (P<0.05) serum total protein, glucose, total antioxidant capacity, and the concentrations of Ca and Zn. Both PHY3 and PHY6 treatment decreased (P<0.05) the concentrations of serum triglycerides, and cholesterol. Daily inclusion of 3 g/cow of chelated feed additives mixture in diet of lactating cows improved milk production and ruminal fermentation, but additives dose of 6 g/cow/d had negative impact on cows’ performance.

“…Furthermore, Plant extracts has shown its ability to control ammonia synthesis and nitrogen binding activity which is responsible for potential decrease in ammonia production during fermentation (Kutlu et al, 2007). These findings revealed potential of Moringa seed extract or oil to be a good alternative of synthetic feed additives (antibiotics) being utilized in ruminant to decrease protein degradation and deamination in the rumen in order to bypass it for post-rumen digestion for better feed efficiency and performance (Kutlu et al, 2007;Soltan et al, 2017, andEbeid et al, 2019).…”

oringa seed oil (MSO) was used as a feed additive to evaluate its potential to manipulate rumen fermentation and productive performance in lactating Ossimi ewes. Cold extracted MSO was supplemented at four different levels (1, 2, 3, and 4%) in diet using in vitro batch culture system for optimizing best supplementation level for sheep. Results of in vitro study revealed non-significant (P>0.05) effect of MSO on true dry matter degradability (TDMD) up to 3% inclusion level, however, decrease in TDMD was observed by 4% MSO supplementation as compared to control and other treatment groups. Accumulated gas production was significantly (P<0.05) increased by MSO supplementation while nonsignificant decrease in ammonia concentration was observed. Fermentation pattern and TDMD revealed 1% MSO as an appropriate level for supplementation, which was further evaluated by in vivo trial. Fourteen lactating Ossimi ewes (about 3 years old with an average body weight of 51 ± 0.5 kg after 5 days of parturition) were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (seven each). One group was fed a basal diet without any supplementation and served as control. Other group was fed basal diet supplemented with 1% MSO on dry matter basis. Animals were fed these diets for a period of 45 days. Nutrient digestibility, milk production and composition were determined. Results revealed that supplementation of MSO significantly (P<0.05) increased milk yield and fat corrected milk. Similarly, it is also significantly (P<0.05) increased yield of milk components (protein, lactose, and SNF) as compared to the control group. However, milk composition (%) was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by treatment. Our study revealed that MSO could be used as a natural fat supplement to meet energy requirements of lactating sheep. Moreover, antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, present in MSO can effectively modulate rumen fermentation which makes it a potential alternative of chemical feed additives (especially antibiotics) to improve feed digestibility and utilization for increasing animal productivity.
