Abstract The current study examined the effect of in-feed administration of thyme and celery on lactational performance of Barki ewes. Thirty ewes (38 ± 2.6 kg) were stratified into 3 treatment groups and fed: (1) a basal total mixed control diet of concentrates and fodder maize (Zea mays L.) at 60:40 dry matter basis, (2) the control diet supplemented with 20 g of thyme, and (3) the control diet supplemented with 20 g of celery/ewe daily for 90 days. GC/MS analyses results showed that limonene, γ- cadinene, and thymol were the principal compounds in celery, while thymol, carvacrol, P-cymene, and γ- cadinene were the principal compounds in thyme essential oil. Thyme and celery treatments increased (P

饲喂含有百里香或芹菜的 Barki 绵羊的饲料利用率和泌乳性能

摘要 目前的研究检验了在饲料中添加百里香和芹菜对巴基母羊泌乳性能的影响。将 30 只母羊 (38 ± 2.6 kg) 分成 3 个处理组并喂食：(1) 以 60:40 干物质为基础的浓缩物和饲料玉米 (Zea mays L.) 的基础总混合对照日粮，(2) 对照饮食补充 20 克百里香，和 (3) 对照饮食补充 20 克芹菜/母羊每天 90 天。GC/MS 分析结果表明，柠檬烯、γ-卡地烯和百里香酚是芹菜中的主要化合物，而百里酚、香芹酚、P-伞花烃和γ-卡地烯是百里香精油中的主要化合物。百里香和芹菜处理增加（P
