| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to find out the effect of coriander seeds as feed additive on some hematological and immunological parameters of Awassi ewes, This experiment was carried out in Animal farm- college of veterinary medicine Baghdad university from 1-3-2010 to 31-5-2010. Eighteen Awassi ewes at the age of 2-3 years were randomly divided in equal number into three groups (6 each)”body weight was considered”. Ewes in the first group kept as control and daily fed on concentrate diet (350 g/head) for three months, while the second group was fed the same concentrate diet contain (2.5%) coriander seeds, the third group was fed the same diet contain (5%) of coriander seeds. Also all animals were allowed to graze for 3-6 h/day. Blood samples were taken from jugular vein biweekly to determine, and white blood cells counts, differential Leukocytes counts, and the ratio of neutrophils /lymphocytes (N/L).Total serum protein, albumin and globulin concentrations were calculated). The result revealed that the second and third groups were significantly (P<0.05) recorded higher values in their white blood cells counts and lymphocytes counts also lymphocyte and Eosinophiles ratios, Total protein, globulin, compared with the control group. While the second and third groups were also recorded significantly (P<0.05) lower values in their neutrophils and monocytes ratios and neutrophile lymphocyte ratio (N/L) and albumen concentration compared with the control group. It was concluded from this study that coriander seeds could be used as feed additives with diet for improving animal health and some haematological and immunological parameters). | ||
