Assessment of the Effect of Thyme Essential Oil on Biochemical Parameters in Endurance Horses

Essential oils as natural plant extracts have received significant attention in recent time. The of thyme play vital roles the metabolic and regulatory functions body. objective this study was to evaluate effect essential oil on endurance horses determine dose for optimal levels major biochemical parameters. Thyme were administered orally at doses 150 mg/kg 600 body weight by mixing with their diet. Serum parameters such total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea, uric acid, proteins, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase evaluated according standard methods. results showed that addition horses' diets seems a beneficial decrease key parameter like cholesterol (0.68 ± 0.02 g/L), acid (0.006 0. 0005 (7.90 5.28 (213.00 47.46 g/L) mg/kg, triglycerides (0.27 0.28 creatinine (0.013 0.004 mg/L), urea (0.28 0.09 mg/L) mg/kg. Thyme-based diet could help improve fitness, performance, overall wellbeing race through optimization serum profile.&nbsp
