Fennel seed reduces diarrhea duration
Feeding fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed as a potential appetite stimulant for Holstein dairy calves: Effects on growth performance and health.
Focus on fennel and diarrhea
In our exploration of how fennel seed powder affects dairy calves, we focused on its potential benefits in reducing diarrhea. We observed that a group of Holstein calves, divided into three different diets—one with no fennel, one with a low dose, and one with a higher dose—showed notable differences in health outcomes.
The calves fed with the higher dose of fennel seed powder (3 grams per day) experienced fewer days with elevated temperatures and a shorter duration of diarrhea compared to those without fennel. This suggests that fennel seed might be effective in supporting gut health in young calves by reducing the time they spend suffering from diarrhea.
Interestingly, the study also highlighted that while both male and female calves experienced health benefits from the fennel, female calves tended to have longer durations of diarrhea overall. However, the fennel did not seem to significantly affect treatment with medication for either gender.
Overall, it appears that incorporating fennel seed powder into the diet of dairy calves can lead to improved weight gain and a better growth profile, while also decreasing the incidence and duration of diarrhea. This could support better health and more robust growth in young livestock.

Fennel reduces diarrhea duration
Potential benefits of early-life supplementation of liquid feed with fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seeds or oregano (Origanum vulgare) leaves on growth, health, and blood metabolites in Holstein dairy calves.
Supports fennel's health benefits.
This study set out to understand how fennel seed powder (FSP) affects diarrhea in Holstein dairy calves during their critical first month of life. Calves were divided into three groups: those receiving no herbal supplements, those getting fennel seed powder, and those supplemented with oregano leaf powder.
We found that the calves given FSP experienced a decrease in the duration of diarrhea compared to the control group. While the frequency of diarrhea episodes did not significantly differ across groups, the time spent dealing with diarrhea was notably shorter for calves on FSP. This suggests that incorporating fennel may help manage diarrhea more effectively in young calves.
Additionally, we observed that FSP contributed to better overall health indicators, including lower rectal temperatures and reduced chances of developing respiratory diseases. This could translate to healthier, more robust calves during this vulnerable period.
Overall, using fennel in liquid feed provides beneficial effects on both calf growth and health, particularly in reducing the duration of diarrhea.

Foeniculum Vulgare shows moderate efficacy
Chemical analysis of aqueous extracts of Origanum majorana and Foeniculum vulgare and their efficacy on Blastocystis spp. cysts.
Relevant to diarrhea treatment research
We explored the potential of Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as fennel, in treating diarrhea caused by Blastocystis spp. In our research, we assessed the effectiveness of fennel's aqueous extract on these parasites in vitro, comparing it with a well-known treatment, nitazoxanide.
During our study, we observed that fennel at a dose of 250 µg/ml exhibited an initial efficacy rate of 56.4% against the Blastocystis parasite after 48 hours. This effect improved over 72 hours, reaching an efficacy of 70.7%. Although this is a promising result, it indicates that while fennel can be helpful, it was not as effective as the nitazoxanide treatment, which had higher efficacy rates.
Additionally, both fennel and another herb, Origanum majorana, showed antioxidant properties due to their high phenolic and flavonoid contents. Our findings suggest that while fennel has some beneficial effects against diarrhea, more exploration is needed to fully understand its role and effectiveness compared to traditional treatments.

Infant reactions
Sorta works. This product is generally good but can cause diarrhea in some infants. I didn’t know this was possible until my child's paediatrician advised me. After replacing it with another product, the issue resolved. It can work for non-sensitive kids, but caution is advised.

Herbal treatment shows promise
[Treatment of chronic colitis with an herbal combination of Taraxacum officinale, Hipericum perforatum, Melissa officinaliss, Calendula officinalis and Foeniculum vulgare].
Limited isolated effect evaluated
We examined the effects of an herbal combination, which included foeniculum vulgare, on patients suffering from chronic non-specific colitis. In our study involving twenty-four participants, we observed that the treatment significantly alleviated symptoms. By the fifteenth day, nearly 96% of the patients reported that their abdominal pain had vanished.
For those experiencing constipation, daily bowel movements were achieved with the herbal blend, supplemented with additional herbs like Rhamus frangula and Citrus aurantium. Meanwhile, patients dealing with diarrhea found their symptoms had normalized, and any abnormal findings in their stools disappeared.
While we recognize foeniculum vulgare as a component of the herbal mix, the study does not clarify its isolated impact specifically on diarrhea. Therefore, while the treatment proved effective for some, we can't definitively state how much foeniculum vulgare contributed to the overall results.
