Abstract

Essential oils derived from plants can provide biological impacts to livestock species. Scientific studies researching essential oils in livestock have investigated various essential oils for prevention and treatment of microbial infection and parasites as well as to enhance milk production, animal performance and rumen function. Despite the availability of several commercial products containing essential oils to promote animal health and production, the vast amount of essential oils, modes of application, and effective concentrations of the essential oils suggest there are more opportunities for essential oils to be utilized in commercial livestock production and veterinary medicine. The objective of this review is to contribute to the understanding of the value that essential oils can provide to the ruminant diet and to examine the biological impact of various essential oils on economically important production traits of ruminant species.

反刍动物精油对重要经济性状的影响综述

从植物中提取的精油会对牲畜产生生物影响。对牲畜精油的科学研究已经研究了各种精油对预防和治疗微生物感染和寄生虫以及提高产奶量、动物生产性能和瘤胃功能的作用。尽管有几种含有精油的商业产品可以促进动物健康和生产，但大量的精油、应用方式和精油的有效浓度表明，精油有更多的机会用于商业畜牧生产和兽药。本文综述的目的是有助于了解精油在反刍动物饮食中的价值，并研究各种精油对反刍动物重要经济生产性状的生物学影响。

期刊介绍： Animal Nutrition encompasses the full gamut of animal nutritional sciences and reviews including, but not limited to, fundamental aspects of animal nutrition such as nutritional requirements, metabolic studies, body composition, energetics, immunology, neuroscience, microbiology, genetics and molecular and cell biology related to primarily to the nutrition of farm animals and aquatic species. More applied aspects of animal nutrition, such as the evaluation of novel ingredients, feed additives and feed safety will also be considered but it is expected that such studies will have a strong nutritional focus. Animal Nutrition is indexed in SCIE, PubMed Central, Scopus, DOAJ, etc.
