Abstract

In this study, six Mahabadi goats (40±0.5 BW and2 ± 1 DIM) were used in a 3 × 3 Latin square design for three periods of 13 days. The experimental diets were:1) basal diet without essential oil(control), 2) basal diet + 200 mg of Ajowan essential oil and 3) basal diet + 400 mg of Ajowan essential oil per kilogram of diet dry matter. Results showed that addition of Ajowan essential oil had no significant effect on dry matter intake, body weight change, milk yield and performance of kids; but the blood serum concentration of triglyceride and LDL were decreased and HDL increased
