ABSTRACT
This research aimed to elucidate effects of an essential oil (EO)
supplementation including thymol, limonene and carvone as main active
compounds on parameters of feed efficiency (FE) in early lactating Simmental
cows. Two balanced groups of cows (n = 16) were used. The EO group received
a total mixed ration (TMR) and a concentrate plus 0.56 g EO blend per kg
of dry matter (DM), the control group (CON) was fed the same feed without
EO dietary supplementation. Results showed higher DM intake (DMI) of TMR
and daily milk yield for CON (22.48 and 39.17 kg) than for EO cows (21.03 and
37.10 kg, P < 0.001), while intake of the concentrate and FE (milk yield/DMI)
did not differ. FE was increased as an effect of EO supplementation (1.84 vs
1.80, P = 0.001), if body weight and pre-experimental FE were respected as
co-variates. The FE progress during the 4-week test period displayed a strong
negative correlation of trend line slopes and intercepts (r = −0.887, EO group).
An inherent FE of 1.69 separated the predicted FE progress by treatment.
EO cows with a higher inherent FE proceeded in steeper FE slopes than CON.
No evidence of a general increase of FE after EO intake in dairy cows could be
determined, unless additional individual parameters are considered.
