Abstract

This study intended to know the effect of sodium selenite and zinc sulfate on the biochemical metabolites in the blood serum of sheep. The experiment was conducted on male sheep of the Kurdi ram and lamb breed in four treatments each as follows; Treatment 1: (control group) without addition, Treatment 2: addition of selenium at a level of 0.5 mg/kg feed, Treatment 3: addition of zinc at a level of 100 mg/kg feed, Treatment 4: addition of selenium with zinc at a level of 0.5 + 100 mg/kg feed for 90 days. The results were significant in the levels of glucose, LDL cholesterol, creatine, immunoglobulin M (IgM), and HDL cholesterol in the second treatment compared to the other treatments and there were no significant differences in the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood serum. The level of cholesterol increased in the fourth treatment compared to the other treatments in the blood serum, and significant differences were found in the level of albumin and immunoglobulin (IgM) in the fourth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments, and immunoglobulin level (IgG) lowered in all addition treatments compared to the control treatment in the blood serum. We conclude from these results that the addition of selenium and zinc mixture improves some biochemical and immunological properties in the blood serum of rams and lamb of the Kurdi sheep breed.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Sodium selenite (Se) and zinc sulfate (Zn) supplementation individually and blended between them on semen quality, testicle size, weight, and Histological changes of the testis and epididymis, in 12 Kurdi rams. The twelve rams were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. The animals were divided into four groups 3 rams per group. The first group was the normal diet control without the addition of selenium and zinc, the second group added selenium (sodium selenite) at a concentration of 0.5 mg/kg fed, and the third group added zinc (zinc sulfate) at a concentration of 100 mg/kg fed. The fourth group added selenium with zinc at a concentration of 0.5 + 100 mg/kg fed and was given gelatin capsules daily for 90 days. Semen was collected on the 90th day of the experiment. The results showed that the level of Selenium and Zinc in the blood serum significantly (p≤0.05) increased the groups that added Se, Zn, and a combination of them compared to the control group. Overall results revealed that the abnormal sperms were improved by dietary selenium supplementation, No significant differences (P≥0.05) were found in semen volume, color, PH, sperm motility, sperm concentration, and percent live spermatozoa. Our conclusion from this study confirmed that the supplementation of Sodium selenite and zinc sulfate can improve semen quality and has positive effects on Histological parameters in Kurdi rams.

Abstract

Saffron Crocus sativus L. (family Iridaceae) is produced in autumn also, is an expensive spice development in Mediterranean climates It takes between 110,000 and 200,000 flowers to harvest one kilogram of stigmas. Stigmas of Croci Sativa (Croci stigmas) is a pharmaceutical primary source, the important factors that impact the quality are soil and climate more than the quality of saffron is determined by secondary metabolites, including as a culinary addition due to their rich perfume, vivid color, and bitter flavor. However, it is more susceptible to forgery for commercial gain, causing danger to public health. The more crucial criterion for identifying crocin concentration is the property of saffron. A new source of antioxidants is the usual medication for depression. Crocus sativus, the central nervous system, depression, dopamine, the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, picrocrocin, phytotherapy, neurotransmitters, safranal, saffron, serotonin, and physiologically active chemicals are all associated with antidepressant action. It has also been consumed in conventional medicine to handle a range of illnesses, including inflammatory and neurological problems. Saffron includes critical minerals and vitamins. Saffron's anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties make it popular in numerous regions around the globe. Furthermore, the capacity of crocetin, saffron, and crocin to lower the deleterious drug modulator effects of chemotherapeutic components was revealed. Properties saffron and its extract were found to be low- or non-toxic. The aim of this study for show a more therapeutic effect also how to use it to treat disease and produce saffron for medicine.

Abstract

Molasses, as a by-product of sugar production, is a feed widely used in ruminant diets, which is rich in available sugars and minerals. The present review paper, under this context, evaluates in detail the chemical characterization and nutritional aspects of molasses with an emphasis on it as a rich source of energy, enhancing the feed palatability and encouraging ruminal microbial fermentation. Molasses has been successful in green and conserved forage systems, particularly with improved quality silage and a reduction in feed losses. Feeding molasses with additives such as urea, minerals, and probiotics enhances rumen function, nitrogen utilization efficiency, and fiber digestion. Research has also shown that it has a positive impact on production performance (such as weight gain, higher milk yield, and feed intake). However, limitation still exists with the factors of the risk from sub-acute ruminal acidosis, imbalancing of electrolytes , and variation of animal species and age. Overconsumption leads to ruminal pH and microbial imbalance. It suggests moderate (usually no more than 10% of dry matter) molasses inclusion with the product introduced slowly and balanced with other feed ingredients. It also provides farmers and nutritionists with working tools to realize these advantages without jeopardizing animal health. The need for further research on the activity of molasses in the long term, its interaction with rumen microbiota, and its activity with other additives in sustainable ruminant production systems is emphasised. The future requirements for research into the long-term activity of molasses, its interaction with rumen microbiota, and its activity with other additives in sustainable ruminant production systems is emphasized.
