- Abstract
The present study was conducted to access the concentration of serum glucose in Marwari rams supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaves dry ethanolic extract. Twenty four adult poor libido rams of 1.5-3.0 years old and 44 kg average body weight were selected and categorised into 4 experimental groups, consisting of 6 rams in each group. The rams of Group G1 were fed standard diet composed of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) + green/dry fodder and of group G2, G3 and G4 were fed same standard diet along with supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaves ethanolic extract (MOLEE) at the rate of 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg body weight (BW), respectively for 120 days. The blood samples were collected from day one of experiment to 15 days beyond the completion of experiment at fortnight interval and determined the serum glucose (GLU) concentration by using commercial test kit. Results revealed that serum glucose concentration varied significantly (p<0.01) among the groups and found lowest in the rams of G4 followed by G3, G2 and G1. A significant (p<0.01) decreasing trend was observed from third fortnight period in MOLEE supplemented group G3 and G4, whereas in G1 and G2 significant (p<0.01) fluctuating trend was observed with advancement of fortnight serum collection periods. The present study indicated that Moringa oleifera leaves extract supplementation decreases the concentration of serum glucose in rams, therefore MOLEE may be included in the routine diet of breeding Marwari ram.
