ups were found to be significant. First month weight was 45.7 ± 1.67 and 42.4 ± 1.65 kg in the control and treatment groups, respectively. There was no difference between the control and treatment groups in terms of body measurements taken at birth, but a significant difference was observed in chest circumference in favor of the control group in terms of measurements obtained at the 1st month. There was no difference between the treatment and control groups in terms of hematological parameters detected in the blood taken on the 10th day and in the 1-month period. No differences were observed between groups in terms of immunoglobulin levels (IgM and IgG). The commercial essential oil mixture had no effect on the fecal score of the calves included in the trial. It was revealed that the essential oil mixture does not make any difference in the growth, development, and health of Simmental calves in a one-month period. In future studies on the subject, it is recommendedthat higher doses of the essential oil mixture be investigated
