| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted from 8/5/2008 to 13/8/2008 to evaluate the effect of Eruca sativa seeds supplementation on reproductive efficiency of roosters laying chickens (Hy- line) exposed to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. A total of 60 roosters, 57 weeks old were randomly assigned for 5 groups of 3 replicates per group. The 1st group (T1) was as control whereas T2- T4 groups treated with 3 gm Eruca sativa seed/kg of diet plus 0.25, 0.5 and 1 ml (0.5%) H2O2/L- drinking water respectively. However, the 5th group given 1 ml (0.5%) H2O2/L drinking water. Results of this experiment indicated that inclusion of Eruca sativa seeds into diet resulted in significantly improvement in Ejaculate volume, mass activity, individual motility, sperm concentration and spermatocrit, while dead and abnormal sperm percentages were significantly decreased in Eruca sativa plus H2O2 treated group as compared with group treated with H2O2 alone. Eruca sativa seeds plus H2O2 treated groups had significantly increased phospholipid, cholesterol and glutathione concentration and total antioxidant, SOD and CAT activity and significantly decreased MDA and tyrosin in seminal plasma in comparison with group treated with H2O2 alone. | ||
