Haematology and Serum Biochemistry of Growing Uda Rams Fed Concentrates Supplemented with some Plant oils
Keywords:
Plant oils, biochemical and hematological parameters of the Sheep
Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the hematological and serum biochemical indices of growing uda rams fed diets supplemented with garlic, soybean and groundnut oils in the semi-arid region of Nigeria. Sixteen (16) Uda lambs were used for this study. Treatments 2, 3 and 4 each contained 30 ml/kg garlic, Soybean and groundnut oils, respectively. Treatment 1 (control diet) did not contain any oil. The results showed significant (P<0.05) differences among the treatments in Packed Cell Volume (PCV) and Haemoglobin (Hb), while Red Blood Cell value (RBC), White Blood Cell count (WBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) and White Blood Cell differential (with the exception of Monocytes (%)) were not significantly influenced (P>0.05) by treatment. The Conjugated Bilirubin, blood urea, Creatinine, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) of growing lambs supplemented with diets containing different plant oils were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatment groups. The utilization of the diet treated with groundnut oil had the highest High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)value, which could be associated with a lower the chance of developing heart disease.
