The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with different level of lycopene on some serum biochemical traits for males of local geese. A total of 24 local geese males in two years old were used in this study. The geese were randomly distributed in to four treatments groups, each group consisted of 6 birds. Birds were fed during the whole period on diet contain 15.2 % crude protein and 2927.3 Kcal metabolic energy / kg. Lycopene was added to the diets of birds at the beginning till the end of experiment period. The birds were reared in single separated cages during the experiment period. groups were as following: Treatment 1(T0) birds fed diet without any addition of lycopene (control group) , Treatment 2 (T300) birds fed diet supplemented with 300 mg lycopene / Kg of diet ,Treatment 3(T600) birds fed diet supplemented with 600 mg lycopene / Kg of diet, Treatment 4(T900) birds fed diet supplemented with 900mg lycopene/Kg of diet. Results revealed that dietary supplementation with different levels of lycopene resulted in: Significant improvement regarding blood serum traits like concentrations of glucose, protein, cholesterol and triglycerides (TG). | ||
