| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation on plasma lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides, high- density lipoprotein; HDL, low- density lipoprotein; LDL and very low- density lipoprotein; VLDL) of Awassi lambs. This study was executed at the Ruminant Researches Station, Ministry of Agriculture using 15 Awassi lambs with 7-9 month year old and 34.25 Kg initial body weight. The animals were divided into three equal groups (5 lambs/ group). The first group was regarded as control group fed on standard concentration ration, in addition to alfalfa hay, while flaxseed and sesame seeds were supplemented to the ration (5%) of the second and third groups respectively in addition to the alfalfa hay. Blood samples were collected from all animals via venipuncture before treatment as well as one and two months post-treatment. Plasma cholesterol concentrations did not significantly differ among groups within each period, whereas it decreased (P≤0.01) with the progress of feeding period within each group. The LDL concentrations exhibited similar trend for cholesterol data. Furthermore, the differences in plasma triglycerides concentrations among groups within each feeding period lacked significance, while it decreased (P≤0.01) in the second and third groups with the progress of feeding period. The concentration of LDL and vLDL were decreased (P≤ 0.05) with the progress of feeding period for all groups for the former trial, and in the second and third groups for later trial respectively. In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of flaxseed and sesame seeds of the Awassi lambs decreased plasma profile of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and vLDL, while the sesame seed lowered plasma LDL obviously | ||
