SUMMARY
Mahdi AS, Yousif DH., Effect of red grape
pomace and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
supplements on hematology and biochemistry in lambs. Onl
J Vet Res., 23 (11):1057-1069, 2019. Four groups of 5 Awassi male 2-3 month old lambs weighing 23.82 ± 0.16kg were
fed control diet supplemented 5% or 10% dried red grape pomace with or without 5g
Saccharomyces cerevisiae daily for 126 days. Controls were fed 3% concentrate
with wheat straw daily. Body weight, blood and serum samples were determined
every 21 days for hematology and biochemistry. Compared with controls, our
results suggest that red grape supplement with or without Saccharomyces cerevisiae boosted hemoglobin,
red blood cells and packed cell volumes (P < 0.05). We found that the supplements had no effect on serum cholesterol or
triglyceride but did enhance high and low-density lipoprotein after 105-126
days feeding (P < 0.05). Serum GSH increased during the last weeks of
supplementation (P < 0.05). However, the most significant (P < 0.01) results
of our study were highly significant reductions in serum Malondialdehyde
at all stages of the experiment in lambs given supplements.
Keywords: Grape pomace, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, hematology, lipids, protein, malondialdehyde, hepatic enzymes, male lambs.
