| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation on serum testosterone concentrations and internal visceral weights of Turkish Awassi lambs. Twelve lambs of 4 months old and 25kg±0.5 Kg average live body weight were randomly divided into three equal group (4 lambs per group). The first group was regard as control, while the Saccharomyces cerevisiae was added to the second (3g) and third (4g) groups respectively with the concentrate ration and allocated as 2% of the live body weight. The straw was introduced ad libtum to all animals. The differences in the serum testosterone concentrations among groups lacked significance. The third group exhibited greater (P≤0.05) testicular weight as compared with the other groups. Non-obvious effect was noticed of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeon internal visceral weights. In conclusion, the dietary Saccharomycescerevisiae supplementation did not influenced the serum testosterone concentrations and internal visceral weights of Turkish Awassi lambs. | ||
