    Effect of supplementing milk replacer with aromatic oregano (Oreganum onites L.) water on performance, immunity and general health profiles of Holstein calves
    (Csiro Publishing, 2018) Ozkaya, Serkan; Erbas, Sabri; Ozkan, Oktay; Baydar, Hasan; Aksu, Taylan
    The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of supplementing milk replacer (MR) with aromatic oregano (Origanum onite L.) water on weaning age, performance during the pre- and post-weaning periods, immune systems, blood parameters and general health of 40 Holstein Friesian calves. The calves fed with oregano water (OW)supplemented MR were weaned earlier than those in the Control group. There were no statistical differences in the liveweight and body measurements among the groups at the weaning age and post-weaning period. The feed intake of the calves fed with OW was higher than that of calves in the Control group in the pre-weaning period. The OW supplementation significantly increased the faecal firmness of calves (P < 0.05). It also decreased the number of E. coli, Coliforms and Enterobacteriaceae pathogens, but only the amount of Enterobacteriaceae was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Non-pathogens, such as Lactic acid bacteria, were not affected by OW supplementation. The OW supplementation had no significant effect on hematologic and biochemical blood values. There was significant interaction between age and groups in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (P < 0.05). The immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG and IgM) values of calves were steadily higher than those of the calves in the Control group. The general health profiles of the calves improved. It can be concluded that MR containing 1-2% OW fed to calves in the early weaning period is a promising treatment to improve their wellbeing and shorten the weaning period.

    The Response of Japanese Quails to Dietary Thymbra spicata L. Essential Oil
    (ARS DOCENDI, 2018) Aksu, Taylan; Aksu, Devrim S.; Kaya, Durmus A.; Duran, Nizami; Onel, Suleyman E.; Canogullari, Sibel
    In the present study, the response of Japanese Quails to dietary Thymbra spicata L. essential oil was investigated. A total of 192 Japanese quail chicks, 1-day old and of mixed sexes, were used in the feeding trial. Birds were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments comprising three experimental groups and one control group (basal diet). Each group was divided into four subgroups, with each containing twelve chicks. EO was added daily to the basal diet at levels of 200 (T1), 400 (T2) and 600 mg/kg (T3), respectively. There was a significantly increase in live weight at 35 days when quails were supplemented with increasing level of EO. Moreover, live weight gain significantly increased over ranges of 28-35 and 0-35 days in quails fed the EO at 600 mg/kg level compared to the control group (P<0.05). No differences were observed among treatments for feed intake. A significantly improvement in feed efficiency at 28-35 days (P<0.001) was observed in treated groups. Treatments significantly decreased the number of total bacteria and Escherichia coli in the small intestine. A significantly decrease was observed for TG levels in all treatment groups. TG/TC rate was significantly decreased in supplemented groups (P<0.001). Treatments did not alter serum HDL and LDL levels. In conclusion, dietary T. spicata L. EO enhanced the performance parameters by showing time-depended effects. This property could be important to recommend the implementation time of such compounds to the poultry diets.
