Abstract | ||
The expieriment was conducted in plant breeding sheep and goat in Abu Ghraib, Agricultural Reseaches Directorate to study the effect of Eruca sativa seeds in concentrate diet on some productive traits (body weight, total weight gain and dailyweight gain), phsylogical traits (count and differentialwhite blood cells) also we study the ratio percentage between Nitrophil to Lymphocyte cells, eighteen female goats were divided randomly (body weight as considered) in to three groups. The first groupwere fed acconcentrate diet free of Eruca sativa seeds considered as (control treatment). The second group (Treatment 2) was fed on concentrated diets containing Eruca sativa seeds (5%) called T2. The third group (Treatment 3) was fed on concentrated diets containing Eruca sativa seeds (7.5%) called T3. The results revealed the following: 1-Body weight and weight gain (total and daily) increased significantlyin female goats (T2,T3) we noticed the groups T2 and T3were significantly (P≤0.05) heavier than control group. T3 showed better gain than those in the T2 at the end of the experiment. 2-Significantly (P≤0.05) increasedin weight blood cells in group T2 and T3 were recorded compared with control group, also T3 recorded significant (P≤0.05) increased in their lymphocyte, neutrophil and basophil compared with control group, also we saw that significant (P≤0.05) increased in lymphocyte cells in T2 group compared with control group. Significant (P≤0.05) decreased were noticed in the monocyte and eosinophilcells in group T2 and T3 compared with control group. The results showed that the percentage ratio of neutrophile to lymphocyte was higher in control compare with T2 and T3 groups. | ||
