ABSTRACT The study aimed to assess the effects of pre-exposure to lavender aromatherapy on horse behavior in stalls and during therapy sessions at the Equine Therapy Center of Cavalo Crioulo/IFRS. Eight therapy horses underwent three control (water diffusion) followed by three aromatherapy trials (water + five drops of diffused lavender essential oil for 30 min) in the stalls. Each trial was on a separate day/week over six consecutive weeks. Total time spent (min) and frequency of behavior in the stalls […]

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding crude glycerin with food additives (sodium monensin or essential oils) to the diets of beef cattle on feed intake, ruminal parameters, in vitro digestibility, and production of greenhouse gases. Five ruminally cannulated Nellore steers were randomly assigned in a 5×5 Latin square design. The treatments were: control, without crude glycerin and additives; with essential oils and without crude glycerin; with sodium monensin and without crude glycerin; with […]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate herbal extracts as alternatives to antimicrobial growth promoters for weanling pigs based on growth performance and organ weights. A 35-d randomized complete block design experiment was carried out to compare five treatments: control (C) – basal diet; antimicrobial (A) – basal diet supplemented with colistin + tiamulin (75 ppm of each); herbal extract – basal diet supplemented with 420 ppm of extracts of clove (Ec); oregano (Eo) and clove + oregano (Ec […]
