Abstract
Oregano is high in antioxidant phytochemical substances such as carvacrol and thymol, as well as other phenolic components. Origanum vulgare extract boosted non-specific immunity and increased immunological responses. Origanum vulgare oil supplementation increased non-specific immune stimulant, antioxidant, and nitric oxide properties. In some recent investigations, Origanum heracleoticum L. essential oil boosted antioxidant status as a growth booster. The overall antioxidant capacity and hepatic levels of antioxidant enzymes in rainbow trout were raised by providing a diet enriched with Origanum vulgare extract. As a result, adding oregano and/or derivatives to a fish's diet as a dietary supplement may boost growth and improve immunity and health.
