Effects of Dietary Inclusion with 3% Camel Fat and 3% Sheep Fat on Broilers Blood Parameters and Serum Cholesterol
Abstract: This study was performed to investigate the effect of Inclusion of 3 % sheep and camel fat on serum cholesterol and blood parameters of broilers, including red blood cell count (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), leucocytes counts (WBC), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH)) and derived (i. e. mean corpuscular heamoglobin concentration (MCHC)) values. Three hundred unsexed broiler chicks, 28 day-old (Ross 308) were used. The Chicks were randomly distributed into 3 treatments experimental groups, designated T1, T2 and T3, each group has 4 replicates of 25 chicks. Birds were fed experimental diets for 3 weeks. They were fed finisher diets from 29 to 49 day old, in which sheep and camel fat was added to the iso-calaric and iso-nitrogenous diet 0 % (Control group), 3 % in each experimental T1, T2 and T3. Boilers fed sheep and camel fat added to their diets, scored highly significant differences (p
