The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of oregano essential oil on the production performance and intestinal barrier in rabbits. One hundred and ninety-two weaned Hyla rabbits (35 days old) with similar body weight (1268.5 ± 25 g) were randomly divided into four groups (24 replicates per group, two rabbits per replicate): fed a basal diet (Control group), fed a basal diet containing 0.02% oregano essential oil (LO group, the purity of oregano essential oil was 5%), fed a basal diet containing 0.04% oregano essential oil (MO group), or fed a basal diet containing 0.08% oregano essential oil (HO group). The trial included 7 days of adaptation and 23 days of testing. Although dietary addition of oregano essential oil did not affect significantly the average daily body weight and final body weight (p > .05), dietary addition of 0.08% oregano essential oil decreased significantly feed intake and diarrhoea rate of the rabbits (p
