“…Essential oils are, by nature, volatile and aromatic and, as such, are claimed to enhance diet acceptability, promoting voluntary feed intake [39]. However, when supplemented separately, the blend of EO used in the present study did not increase the feed intake of feedlot cattle [40][41][42] or feedlot lambs [13,43]. Similarly, HyD supplementation alone did not increase DMI of feedlot cattle [15,16].…”

“…When supplemented alone, the effects of EO on carcass characteristics was not appreciable in feedlot cattle [12,57] and finishing lambs [13,43]. The NASEM [19] does not report vitamin D equivalents for a majority of dietary ingredients.…”

“…Supplemental essential oils (EOs; such as piperine, limonene, eugenol, and thymol) also manifest antimicrobial properties by modifying ruminal fermentation patterns (greater molar ratio of ruminal propionate to acetate), retarding the rate of ruminal starch fermentation, and reducing ruminal degradation of feed protein [10,11]. In this regard, supplementation of feedlot finishing diets with a standardized mixture of essential oils compounds (thymol, eugenol, vanillin, and limonene) at dosages of 90 to 150 mg/kg diet dry matter (DM) resulted in enhancements in gain efficiency and efficiency of energy utilization comparable to those of MON or VM supplementation separately [12,13]. In recent reports, 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 (HyD) supplemented at 0.10 mg/kg of diet tended to increase average daily gain (ADG) [14], carcass weight [15], and dressing percentage [16].…”

Ninety crossbreed bulls (349.5 ± 8.25 kg initial weight) were used in an 87day trial to compare the effects of a blend of essential oils plus 25-hydroxy-Vit-D3 (EO + HyD) versus the combination of monensin with virginiamycin (MON + VM) on feedlot growth performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary treatments (nine replicates/treatment) were supplemented with 40 mg/kg diet dry matter of MON + VM (equal parts) or with 120.12 mg/kg diet dry matter of a combination of standardized mixture of essential oils (120 mg) plus 0.12 mg of 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D3 (EO + HyD). There were no treatment effects on dry matter intake (DMI, p = 0.63). However, the coefficient of variation in day-to-day DMI was greater for EO + HyD than for MON + VM (11.4% vs. 3.88%, p = 0.04). There were no treatment effects (p ≥ 0.17) on daily weight gain, gain-to-feed ratio, and estimated dietary net energy. Cattle supplemented with EO + HyD had greater Longissimus muscle area (7.9%, p < 0.01) and estimated retail yield (1.6%, p = 0.03), and tended to have heavier (1.7%, p = 0.10) carcass weight. Differences among treatments in dressing percentage, fat thickness, kidney–pelvic–heart fat, and marbling score were not appreciable (p > 0.10). It is concluded that growth performance response and dietary energetic are similar for finishing cattle supplemented with EO + HyD vs MON + VM. However, compared with MON + VM, supplementation with EO + HyD during the finishing phase may improve carcass Longissimus area and carcass yield.

“…Essential oils (EO; such thymol, eugenol, vanillin, guaiac and limonene) have been investigated as an alternative to conventional antibiotics such as MON. Like the ionophores, EO have antibiotic-like characteristics affecting ruminal fermentation and nutrient absorption (Drouillard, 2018) and growth performance of feedlot lambs (Arteaga-Wences et al, 2021) and cattle (Meschiatti et al, 2019). In recent reports, 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D3 (HyD) supplemented at 0.1 mg/kg of diet increased ADG (Gouvea et al, 2019), carcass weight (Carvalho and Perdigao, 2019) and dressing percentage (Acedo et al, 2019).…”

Background: During the first stage of fattening, performance of cattle is more affected by high ambient load. A strategy to mitigate the negative effects of high ambient temperatures on energy efficiency is by monensin supplementation. However, the present concern about the use of antibiotics as feed additives has led to search for safe alternatives. Due to its nature, essential oils and supplementary vitamin D3 represent a potential substitute to monensin in cattle subjected to high environmental heat load. For this reason, The objective of this study was to compare supplemental monensin vs the novel combination essential oils plus vitamin D3 on growth performance and dietary NE of feedlot bulls exposed to elevated ambient temperature during the initial 84-d on feed. Methods: Ninety crossbreed young bulls (228.0±7.1 kg initial weight) were used in 84-d trial to evaluate a blend of essential oils plus 25-hydroxy-Vit-D3 as a feed additive to alleviate the harmful effects of the high-ambient temperature on feedlot cattle performance during the early-growing phase. Dietary treatments (9 replicates/treatment) were supplemented with: 1) 24 mg of sodium monensin/kg diet DM (MON), or with 2) 119.12 mg/kg diet DM of a combination of standardized mixture of essential oils (119 mg) plus 0.12 mg of 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D3 (EO+HyD). Average THI was 82.7±3.2. Result: There were no treatment effects on day-to-day fluctuations in DMI. However, EO+HyD tended to increase DMI (4.3%, P=0.06). Supplemental EO+HyD increased daily weight gain (8.3%, P less than 0.01) and gain-to-fed ratio (4.0%, P=0.03). Supplemental EO+HyD tended to increase estimated dietary net energy (2.5%, P=0.07) and observed-to-expected dietary NE ratio (3.0%, P=0.07). This effect can be attributed to a 7% reduction in the maintenance requirement. The combination of EO+HyD may be a valuable tool to optimize growth-performance and feed efficiency of cattle under conditions of high ambient heat load.

“…La eficiencia alimenticia se calculó dividiendo la GDP con el consumo promedio diario de materia seca (CMS). Las estimaciones de energía neta de la dieta se realizaron en base a los promedios de peso, GDP y CMS del periodo de prueba siguiendo las ecuaciones y derivaciones energéticas expuestas por (Arteaga-Wences et al, 2021). Los datos de comportamiento productivo se analizaron como un diseño de bloques completos al azar utilizando el procedimiento MIXED del software SAS (SAS, 2007).…”

Resumen. Se utilizaron 24 ovinos de la cruza de razas Pelibuey × Katahdin, bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar para evaluar el impacto del filtrado del agua de bebida sobre el rendimiento productivo. Los tratamientos consistieron en el suministro ad libitum de agua de dique filtrada (FILT; 256 ppm TDS) y agua de dique no filtrada (RAW; 776 ppm TDS). El experimento duró 89 días. En base al contenido de TDS, tanto FILT como RAW se califican como agua segura para bebida de ganado. Sin embargo, el consumo de agua fue 10% mayor en corderos que recibieron FILT. Así mismo, FILT mejoró la ganancia diaria de peso (8%, P = 0.03) y la eficiencia en la utilización de la energía de la dieta (2.9% P = 0.04). Los resultados de este estudio indican que el filtrado del agua calificada como "segura", mejora el comportamiento productivo de ovinos en finalización. Palabras clave: Corderos, finalización, calidad de agua, rendimiento productivo.
