ABSTRACT
Elemam MB, Fadelelseed AM, Abdoun K, Salih AM, Blood parameters in lambs fed graded levels
of deep-stack broiler litter, Onl J Vet Res, Volume 30 (7): 416-426, 2026. We fed 0, 15, 30 and 45% deep stack broiler
litter to 4 groups of 4 lambs each. Jugular blood was taken at 0, 14, 45 and 90 days. Hematology did no vary except for mean corpuscular
volume which declined (P < 0.05) ~8% and total white blood cell count ~5%.
Similarly, there were no changes due to dose for serum biochemistry except for
triglyceride which declined (P < 0.05) ~18%. Dose by time of treatment
interaction was different for hematology and biochemistry. We find that feeding
<45% deep-stacked broiler litter may not affect lambs..
