Abstract

A wide range of essential oils contains biologically active compounds that can potentially act as multifunctional feed additives for animals. The aim of the study was to establish the effect of coriander and fennel essential oils on the nonspecific resistance of calves and growth rates. The study was conducted on 3 groups of 21-day-old calves with 10 heads each. The animals of the control group received the basic diet (BD), the first experimental group BD + fennel essential oil (1 ml), and the second experimental group BD + coriander essential oil (1 ml). The indicators of nonspecific resistance were studied: phagocytic number (PN) and phagocytic index (PI). PI in fennel is 95.6% higher (25.63:13.1) compared to the control, and in coriander—by 90.3% (24.93:13.1). PN in fennel is 114.4% higher (4.63:2.16), in coriander—by 205% (6.59:2.16). Under equal conditions of maintenance, we see that the immune response in calves of the experimental groups treated with coriander and fennel is significantly higher than in calves of the control group. Additives in the form of essential oils help to strengthen the nonspecific protection of the body.
