The influence of feeding low and high level of Brachiaria decumbens diets on the hematology, serum biochemistry, and acute phase proteins of sheep

The present study aims to determine the hematology, serum biochemistry, and acute phase proteins (APPs) responses of both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in sheep fed with low high levels Brachiaria decumbens (B. decumbens) diets at different time phases. A total 30 6-month-old male Dorper cross were randomly divided into three treatment groups consisted 10 each. Treatment 1 (control) Pennisetum purpureum concentrates as basal diet, whereas Treatments 2 3 (10%) (60%) level B. decumbens, respectively. hematology results revealed that there significant differences (p < 0.05) red blood cells, mean corpuscular volume, hemoglobin concentration, white neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, platelets, plasma between groups. Except for packed cell also all parameters All biochemistry except creatinine among However, time. On other hand, APPs showed haptoglobin amyloid CSF
