- Abstract
This experiment was conducted in the poultry field of the Animal Production Department at the College of Agriculture / Al-Qasim Green University to study the effect of adding different levels of vitamin B7 to drinking water on some biochemical characteristics and the lipid profile of guinea fowl blood serum. And 24 birds of male Guinea fowl were used in it, which were divided randomly into four treatments by 4 birds for each treatment, and each treatment consisted of 4 replicates each replicate contains 1 bird. The experiment coefficients were as follows: The first treatment: a group without any addition. The second treatment: a basic diet with an addition of 2 mg of vitamin B7 / liter of drinking water, the third treatment: a basic ration with an addition of 4 mg of vitamin B7 / liter of drinking water, and the fourth treatment: a basic ration with an addition of 6 mg of vitamin B7 / liter of drinking water, and the experiment included Study of the following characteristics: Total protein concentration, Albumin concentration, Globulin concentration, liver enzyme concentration (ALT, AST), Glutathione enzyme concentration, cholesterol concentration, Triglyceride concentration, high-density lipoprotein level assessment, low-density lipoprotein level assessment and assessment of the level of Very low-density lipoproteins. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences between the trial treatments in both total protein concentration and serum globulin concentration. The results also recorded that there were no significant differences between the trial treatments with respect to albumin concentration. As for the concentration of ALT liver enzymes, the results showed a significant decrease in the second, third and fourth treatments compared to the control treatment. As for AST, the results showed no significant differences between all trial treatments, while the results showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the enzyme glutathione. For treatment, vitamin B7 was added (the second and fourth treatments) compared to the first treatment (contro). Vitamin B7 treatments had a role in reducing the level of cholesterol and triglycerides, in addition to low-density lipoproteins, as well as for very low-density lipoproteins compared to the control treatment that recorded the highest concentration, while there were significant differences between the experiment treatments with respect to the level of high-density lipoproteins. Compared to a control treatment. It is concluded from the current experience that adding vitamin B7 to drinking water improved the lipid profile in the blood serum.
