The Effects of Oregano Oil (Origanum onites L.) on the Growth Performance and Some Blood Parameters of Holstein Friesian Calves
Abstract
This study was conducted on
44 newborn Holstein Friesian calves raised in a private farm in Hatay province, Turkey. The calves
were divided into two groups; the first group (control group) was fed only with
milk replacer and the second group was fed with milk replacer added 893 mg
oregano oil (oregano oil group) from the fourth day after calving. The amount of
milk replacer offered to the calves was 10% of their weekly live weights. The
calves were weaned when they consumed 800 g concentrate feed daily for three
consecutive days. Weaning age and daily live weight gains for control and
oregano oil group calves were found as 68.6 ± 4.45, 67.7 ± 4.62 days and 0.300
± 0.09, 0.400 ± 0.011 kg, respectively. The mean consumption of milk replacer,
hay and concentrate feed of calves for the control and orageno oil calves were
found as 327.7 ± 42.17, 331.0 ± 49.40 liters; 13.25 ± 3.025, 15.23 ± 3.682 kg
and 19.97 ± 4.186, 22.37 ± 5.709 kg, respectively. The average initial hay, and
concentrate feed consuming ages and diarrhea days for the control and oregano
oil groups were determined as 10.6 ± 0.29, 9.5 ± 0.28 and 3.1 ± 0.111, 1.9 ±
0.073 days. The initial hay and concentrate feed consuming ages
were the same in both groups. According to the results of the study, more
research is needed to evaluate the optimal dosing of oregano oil.
