This study was conducted in the animal field that belongs to Animal Resource Dept.,College of Agriculture and Forestry,Mosul University. Sixteen local males lambs were used at the began of fasting process with age about 7-8 months and initial weight average 38.200 kg , were divided randomly into four groups and then distributed randomly into four treatments. The treatments consisted of differen...

Thirty two lambs were fed a total mixed ration (TMR) formulated either with palm oil (CTRL; 34 g palm oil kg(-1) TMR) or whole flaxseed (+FS, 85 g flaxseed kg(-1) TMR) alone or enriched with quercetin (+QCT, 34 g palm oil plus 2 g quercetin kg(-1) TMR; +FS+QCT, 85 g flaxseed plus 2 g quercetin kg(-1) TMR). Dietary flaxseed did not affect, in a significant manner, the lipid peroxidation of meat ...

Early feed restriction of lambs promotes a permanent mitochondrial dysfunction that impairs efficiency along the whole life. Dietary L-carnitine, compound plays an essential role in energy metabolism transferring long-chain fatty acids to mitochondria for subsequent β-oxidation, has demonstrated positive effects (e.g., improved markers or muscle/heart function) early restricted lambs. The purpo...

The aim of the presented study was an estimation of the zinc bioavailability derived from amino acid complexes with methionine, lysine and glycine in growing lambs. 48 lambs, Polish Merino × Romanowski × Charolaise crossbreed, at age about 10 weeks and average body weight of 20 kg were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups. Animals were kept collectively and fed with concentrate and hay i...

T HE role of the thyroid gland in the regulation of general body metabo, [ism, metamorphosis, growth, and development is well known.The in. fluence of the thyroid gland and its hormone, thyroxine, upon the amount and distribution of body fat is not thoroughly understood. Although obesity is frequently associated with hypothyroidism in the human, this is not always the case and some hypothyroid ...
