چکیده مقاله :
In this study, nine male Dallagh sheep (initial weight 35±2 kg) were used in a replicated 3 × 3 latin square design experiment with three treatments and three 21-day periods (14 d adaptation, 7 d collection). Treatments were control (without addition) and two treatment diets containing 10% dry matter Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) and Urtica dioica (nettle) powder. The dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed conversion ratio were determined. Rumen fluid was obtained at 0, 4 and 8 hours after feeding. Also, blood samples were collected 2 h after feeding. Diet containing 10% licorice significantly increased feed conversion ratio versus control (P<0.05). In licorice treatment, lactic acid bacteria in rumen fluid were lower than nettle 8 hours after morning feeding. Sheep fed licorice had higher rumen protozoa count than control before morning feeding (P<0.05). Dietary supplementations had no effect on the weight gain, dry matter intake, and total count of bacteria, coliforms, rumen pH, blood glucose, total protein, triglyceride, cholesterol, and albumin. In conclusion, licorice dry powder decreased lactic acid bacteria, increased feed conversion ratio, and had no significant effect on other studied factors. Also, nettle had no effect on performance, blood metabolite and rumen parameters.
این پژوهش به منظور بررسی تأثیر پودر گیاه شیرین بیان و گزنه بر عملکرد، تخمیر و جمعیت میکروبی شکمبه و برخی متابولیت‌های خونی گوسفند انجام شد. این تحقیق در قالب مربع لاتین تکرارشده 3 × 3 و با استفاده از 9 رأس گوسفند بالغ نژاد دالاق با میانگین وزن اولیه 2 ± 35 کیلوگرم در 3 دوره 21 روزه شامل 14 روز به عنوان دوره عادت پذیری و 7 روز نمونه برداری انجام شد. تیمارهای آزمایشی شامل تیمار1 (شاهد): جیره پایه (بدون گزنه و شیرین بیان) و دو تیمار آزمایشی حاوی 10 درصد ماده خشک دریافتی پودر شیرین بیان (تیمار2) و گزنه (تیمار3) بودند. به منظور تعیین جمعیت میکروبی و اندازه گیری pH، نمونه های مایع شکمبه قبل از خوراک دهی صبح، 4 و 8 ساعت بعد از خوراک دهی صبح جمع آوری شدند. خون گیری در پایان هر دوره 2 ساعت بعد از خوراک دهی صورت گرفت. افزودن پودر گیاه گزنه و شیرین بیان خشک شده تأثیر معنی داری بر افزایش وزن روزانه، مصرف غذا، pH، ازت آمونیاکی، تعداد کل باکتری ها و کلیفرم ها نداشت ولی ضریب تبدیل تیمار شیرین بیان نسبت به تیمار شاهد به طور معنی داری افزایش یافت (0.05>P). تعداد باکتری های اسید لاکتیک در تیمار شیرین بیان نسبت به تیمار گزنه، 8 ساعت بعد از خوراک دهی صبح کاهش معنی داری داشت. تیمارهای گزنه و شیرین بیان تأثیر معنی دار بر گلوکز، پروتئین کل، تری گلیسیرید، کلسترول و آلبومین خون نداشتند به طورکلی شیرین بیان باعث کاهش باکتری های اسید لاکتیک و افزایش معنی دار ضریب تبدیل شد ولی بر سایر فاکتورها اثری نداشت و گزنه بر عملکرد، فراسنجه های خونی و شکمبه ای تأثیر نداشت.
