| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to find out the effect of feeding Cinnamomum camphora on some productive and biochemical traits. Ten ram lambs aged 3.0- 4.0 months, with body weight 18-22.0 Kg. Awassi ram lambs were randomly and equally distributed into two groups, 1st (c) group was daily fed on a concentrate pellets diet (2%) of body weight and kept as control group. 2nd group (T) was daily fed on the same concentrate pellets diet and level containing 25 mg/kg of cinnamomum camphora, both groups are grazing for 3-4 hours a day. The results revealed that body weight was progressively increased in all groups, but the treated groups showed significantly (p< 0.05) better values than the control group. PCV percentage, hemoglobin concentration and WBCs count numerically increased with time progress in all groups. While Serum glucose levels reduced with time progress in all groups, but the treated groups showed significantly (P<0.05) lower values than the control group in late experimental periods. With time progress, serum cholesterol and triglyceride percentages were decreased in the treated group contrasted with the control group. The total protein concentration and albumin concentration increased significantly (P<0.05) from the 4th period to the end of the study while the globulin concentration were increased significantly (P<0.05) compared with the treated group in the 5th and 6th period of the experiment. It was concluded that adding Cinnamomum camphora in the feed had positive effect on body weight and some of the traits in this experiment | ||
