چکیده مقاله :
A total of 105, 14 weeks old cockerels weighing 1.49 ± 0.023 kg were used to investigate the effects of Vitex doniana leaf meal (VDLM) on performance, haematological and serum biochemical parameters in cockerels over a seven-week experimental trials. The cockerels were divided into three (3) treatment groups of 0%, 5% and 10% inclusion levels of VDLM in a completely randomized design layout. The result showed significant increase (P<0.05) in final body weight, average daily weight gain and feed to gain ratio. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in all haematological parameters except for the absolute content of granulocyte which, significantly increased (P<0.05) with increase in VDLM inclusion. Serum total protein significantly increased (P<0.05) with increase in VDLM inclusion while serum potassium in the control was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to 5% and 10% VDLM inclusions It was concluded that VDLM could be included up to 10% in cockerels diet with an improvement in performance and without detrimental alteration in haematological and serum biochemical parameters.
105 قطعه خروس در سن 14 هفتگی با وزن 023/0 ± 49/1 برای بررسی اثرات کنجاله برگ Vitex doniana (VDLM) بر عملکرد، پارامترهای هماتولوژیکی و پارامترهای بیوشیمیایی سرم در جوجه خروسها در طی یک آزمایش هفت هفتهای به کار گرفته شدند. این جوجه خروسها به سه تیمار صفر درصد، 5 درصد و 10 درصد شامل سطوح مختلف VDLM در قالب یک طرح کاملاً تصادفی تخصیص داده شدند. نشان داد که وزن نهایی بدن، میانگین افزایش وزن روزانه و نسبت خوراک به افزایش وزن به طور معنیداری افزایش یافت (05/0>P). تفاوت معنیداری در کلیه پارامترهای هماتولوژیکی به غیر از مقدرا مطلق گرانولوسیت که به نحو معنیداری همراه با افزایش VDLM ارتقا مییافت (05/0>P)، دیده نشد (05/0>P). پروتئین کُل سرم به نحو معنیداری همگام با افزایش VDLM افزایش یافته (05/0>P) ولی پتاسیم سرم به نحو معنیداری در تیمار شاهد بالاتر از تیمارهای 5 درصد و 10 درصد VDLM بوده است (05/0>P). چنین نتیجهگیری میشود که VDLM را میتوان تا سطح 10 درصد نیز در جیره جوجه خروسها وارد نموده و این کار منجر به بهبود عملکرد شده و تغییر تعیین کنندهای در پارامترهای هماتولوژیکی و بیوشیمایی سرم ایجاد نمیگردد.
