چکیده
The aim of the study was to evaluate physiological performance heat stressed growing rabbits fed diets supplemented with vitamin anti-oxidants and bicarbonate buffers. A total thirty (30) (New Zealand White crosses) two months old were used in this study. There six (6) per treatment a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). groups consisted of: control, sodium (NaHCO3) potassium bicarbonate, (KHNO3) solution respectively, Vitamin C, baobab fruit pulp meal (BFPM) as supplements, respectively. experiment lasted for 9 weeks. Five milliliters blood collected from five (through ear vein) chosen randomly each group rabbits, respectively at beginning end serum metabolite thyroxine hormone evaluation. Physiological also evaluated. It found that environmental conditions stressful animals; Vitamins (Vit C BFPM) significantly (P<0.05) reduced rectal temperature, heart rate triglycerides compared other treatments. buffers recorded high feed intake, calcium thyroxine. It concluded ameliorating stress antioxidants helpful improve recommended be included rabbit during hot period. Key words: Antioxidants, buffers, stress,

متن کاملPerformance and Egg Quality of Laying Hens Fed Diets Supplemented with Herbal Extracts and Flaxseed
In this experiment, the effects of fennel and thyme extracts with and without flaxseed were investigated on performance and egg quality of Leghorn-type laying hens (Hy-Line W-36). 200 laying hens from 26 to 38 weeks of age were assigned to five dietary treatments with five replications. The treatment groups were: 1) Control (a diet without any additives); 2) control diet plus fennel (40 mg/kg f...
متن کاملIleal amino acid digestibility and performance of growing pigs fed wheat-based diets supplemented with xylanase.
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of supplementation of xylanase to a wheat-based diet on the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of AA and the performance of growing pigs fed diets limiting in AA. In Exp. 1, eight pigs (average initial BW = 20.5+/-1.2 kg) fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum, were fed four diets according to a repeated 4 x 4 Latin square desig...
متن کاملNutrient digestibility and performance responses of growing pigs fed phytase- and xylanase-supplemented wheat-based diets.
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing phytase and xylanase on nutrient digestibility and performance of growing pigs fed wheat-based diets. In Exp. 1, 10 diets were fed to 60 pigs from 20 to 60 kg of BW to determine the effect of combining phytase and xylanase on apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients and growth performance. The 10 diets includ...
