The present study was carried out at the Animal Farm College of Veterinary Medicine University of Baghdad during the period from 20/4/2015 to1/6/2015. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of olive leaves (grinded) supplementation to diet on milk yield, composition and some blood biochemical  parameters.Ten local lactating goats and its mean initial live body weight41.38± 0.46 kg, and 2-3.5 years old were allocated according to their body weight and milk yield  into two groups (5does/group). The first one (G1) was control, the second (G2) fed on diet with 2% olive leaves powder (of diet weight). The animals in both groups were fed the experimental diets 2 % DM of live body weight plus alfalfa hay (1 kg / head/day). Results showed the olive leaves powder supplementation had no significant effect on the average body weight in the end of experiment, while the milk production was  significantly (P<0.05)increased in (G2) being 13.68 kg/Doe compared with 10.76 kg/Doe(G1), milk compositions (lactose. protein and fat percentage) and milk energy value did not significantly different between (G1) and (G2).Moreover blood biochemical parameters did not different in both groups. It can be concluded that olive leaves powder exerted have beneficial effects on the performance of lactating goats and no effect on blood biochemical parameters.

Purpose. Retinal ischemia is a medical condition associated with numerous retinal vascular disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. This in vitro cell and in vivo animal study investigated not only the protective effect of S-allyl L-cysteine (SAC, an active component of garlic) against retinal ischemia but also its associated protective mechanisms. Methods. Retinal ischemia was mimicked by raising the intraocular pressure to 120 mmHg for 1 hour in one eye. The effects of pre-/postischemic administration of vehicle vs. SAC 0.18 mg vs. SAC 0.018 mg vs. SAC 0.0018 mg treatments on retina cells were evaluated through cellular viability (MTT assay), flash electroretinograms (ERGs), and fluorogold retrograde labelling (retinal ganglion cell (RGC) counting). Also, protein immunoblot was utilized to assess the role of Wnt, hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, and vascular endothelium factor (VEGF) in the proposed anti-ischemic mechanism. Lastly, the safety of drug consumption was investigated for changes in the animal’s body weight, ERG waves, and blood biochemical parameters (e.g., glucose levels). Results. The characteristic ischemic changes including significant reduction in ERG b-wave ratio and RGC number were significantly counteracted by pre- and postischemic low dose of SAC. Additionally, ischemia-induced overexpression of Wnt/HIF-1α/VEGF protein was ameliorated significantly by preischemic low dose of SAC. In terms of the animal safety, no significant body weight and electrophysiological differences were observed among defined different concentrations of SAC without following ischemia. In low SAC dosage and vehicle groups, various blood biochemical parameters were normal; however, high and medium concentrations of SAC significantly lowered the levels of uric acid, Hb, and MCHC. Conclusion. This study shows that preischemic administration of low SAC dosage has been proved to be safe and most effective against rat retinal ischemia electrophysiologically and/or histopathologically. Moreover, counteracting the ischemia-induced overexpression of Wnt/HIF-1α/VEGF might presently explain SAC’s anti-ischemic mechanism.

Nephroprotective Effect

The present study was undertaken to explore the nephroprotective potential of Jatrophacurcas fruit extracts against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Nephrotoxicity was induced by CCl4 (3ml/kg body weight) in animals. Blood biochemical parameters, urine analysis and histopathological studies were carried out to assess the nephroprotective effect. CCl4 administration induced significant nephrotoxicity in rats, which was evident from enhanced levels of albumin, potassium.From the obtained results it may be concluded that pretreatment of silymarin (50mg/kg dose orally) significantly reversed carbon tetrachloride induced nephrotoxicitywhere asJatrophacurcas methanol extract (250mg/kg body weight) showed significant effect against CCl4 induced nephrotoxicity in rats thanJatrophacurcas aqueous extract (p less than 0.001) for most of the blood biochemical parameters, hematological parameters as well in attenuation of pathological changes in kidney tissues.

Abstract Introduction This study aimed to characterise the effects of ketosis on milk yield and composition and digestive capacity in transition dairy cows. Material and Methods Seven ketotic and seven healthy cows were housed in individual stalls for six days. Samples of plasma, milk, refused total mixed ration, and faeces were collected, and the blood biochemical parameters, milk yield and composition, dry matter intake, and faecal dry matter (FDM) production were determined. Results Compared with healthy cows, the ketotic cows had significantly higher concentrations of milk fat and citrate, but lower levels of milk protein and lactose. The cows exhibited a need for acid detergent fibre in forage and better digestion of neutral detergent fibre, starch, crude protein, and phosphorus than healthy cows, but more fat and gross energy were excreted in their faeces. Ketotic cows had higher energy-corrected milk yields and lower FDM than healthy cows. Conclusion Lower feed intake coinciding with the requirement to maintain high milk production is considered to be the cause of ketosis in dairy cows. Ketotic cows exhibited lower dry matter fat digestion.

The present study was carried out to investigate and compare the effect of hyperthyroidism either alone or in combination with melatonin on some blood biochemical parameters and DNA integrity in liver and kidney of male rats. For this purpose 75 mature male rats weighing 120-140g were randomly divided into five groups (control, hyperthyroid, hyperthyroid plus 1, 5 or 10 mg/kg bwt of melatonin, respectively). Hyperthyroidism was experimentally induced by daily I/P injection of L-thyroxine (0.2 mg/kg body weight). The melatonin treated groups were injected with the same dose of L-thyroxine followed by I/P injection of melatonin (1, 5 or 10 mg/kg, respectively). The study was carried out for 21 days. The last blood and tissue samples were collected one day after the end of the last injection (on the 22nd day). The results revealed that hyperthyroidism significantly increased the levels of urea and the activities of GOT, GPT, ALP as well as the percentage of DNA fragmentation in the liver and kidney. At the same time hyperthyroidism induced a significant decrease in level of creatinine. Treatment with the 3 doses of melatonin completely ameliorated the hyperthyroidism- induced increase in GPT and ALP, while 5 and 10 mg could completely counteract the hyperthyroidism- induced increase in urea and only the 10 mg melatonin could ameliorate the hyperthyroidism-induced increase in GOT activity. It is concluded that melatonin can ameliorate the hyperthyroidism-induced disturbance in blood biochemical parameters and DNA fragmentation.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of colostrum powder on performance, intestinal morphology, blood biochemical parameters and antioxidant status of broilers in heat stress. In this experiment 224 Ross-308 broiler chicks were used from 1 to 42 days in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design. Treatments included: 1) control (without using colostrum), 2) 0.5% of colostrum, 3) 1% of colostrum, 4) 1.5% of colostrum, and 5) 2% of colostrum powder. Colostrum powder was added in first 10 days of broilers breeding period in their diets. Colostrum powder had significant effects on performance, carcass traits and intestinal cells morphology of broilers in heat stress (P < 0.05). In grower period the highest amounts of final body weight and body weight gain were obtained with 2% of colostrum powder. Colostrum powder in contrast to control improved the percentages of gizzard, liver, bursa of fabricious, thighs and breast (P > 0.05). The highest villies, the lowest crypts and the highest ratio of villies/crypts were obtained with colostrum powder adding (P > 0.05). Colostrum powder had no significant effects on blood biochemical parameters and antioxidant status of broilers. The overall resulted showed that in broilers in heat stress condition using colostrum powder up to 2% in starter period has beneficial effects on performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broilers.

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, multienzyme composition supplementation on milk yield, quality, blood biochemical parameters of Lithuanian-Black-and-White cows. For this reason 28 cows were divided into four groups (three experimental and one control) each with seven cows fed balanced ration (control group) and following experimental groups: addition of 40g supplement of live yeast with organic selenium (group A); 40g supplement of live yeast with aromatic additives (group B); and 0.2g supplement of multienzyme composition (group C) during a 90 days period. The study showed that milk yield was 2.64%, 1.75%, 1.4% higher in groups A, B, C respectively, comparing with the control group. The milk SCC in experimental groups were lower comparing to the control group. The percentage of milk fat was significantly higher in group A - 0.33%, B - 0.31% and C - 0.16% comparing with the control group. All used additives ensure positive dynamics of investigated biochemical parameters in cattle blood. The results indicated that probiotic additives and multienzyme composition supplementation to dairy cows increased cows productivity and milk fat as well. Probiotic additives supplementation decreased SCC values in milk.
