Abstract

The experiment was designed to evaluate the consequence of a blend of garlic oil and cinnamon bark powder administration on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immunity, antioxidant status and methane emission in Murrah buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Sixteen buffalo calves were divided into two groups in a completely randomised design. The first group (CONT) was fed a basal diet of wheat straw, green oats and concentrate mixture, whereas the second group (GOCB) received feeds as per the CONT along with a blend of garlic oil and cinnamon bark powder (0.5 mL + 1.0 g/head/day) by mixing it with the concentrate mixture for a period of 170 days. The growth rate and feed efficiency in GOCB group buffalo calves were improved (20%) with better (p < 0.05) digestibility of organic matter and crude proteins. Buffaloes of the GOCB group revealed enhanced (p < 0.05) immunity and antioxidant enzymes with reduced (p < 0.05) lipid peroxidation (26% less MDA production). The methane concentration in the eructed gas of the GOCB buffaloes was reduced (33.88%) in comparison with the CONT (p < 0.01). Thus, feed formulated with a blend of garlic oil-cinnamon bark powder demonstrates improvements in the health and production performances of buffalo calves.

大蒜油和肉桂皮混合饲料模块的开发，提高了美洲野牛（Bubalus bubalis）的抗氧化状态和免疫力，提高了饲料效率，减少了甲烷排放。

本试验旨在研究大蒜油和肉桂皮粉混合施用对美洲野牛生长性能、营养物质消化率、免疫力、抗氧化能力和甲烷排放的影响。在完全随机的设计中，16头水牛被分为两组。第一组（CONT）饲喂麦秸、绿燕麦和精料混合物的基础饲粮，第二组（GOCB）按CONT饲喂基础饲粮，并将大蒜油和肉桂皮粉（0.5 mL + 1.0 g/头/天）与精料混合物混合，为期170 d。GOCB组水牛犊牛的生长率和饲料效率提高了20%，有机物和粗蛋白质消化率提高（p < 0.05）。GOCB组水牛免疫力和抗氧化酶增强（p < 0.05），脂质过氧化降低（p < 0.05）（MDA产量降低26%）。与对照组相比，GOCB水牛排出气体中的甲烷浓度降低了33.88% （p < 0.01）。因此，用大蒜油-肉桂皮粉混合配制的饲料可改善水牛犊牛的健康和生产性能。
