Evaluation of Pennyroyal as A Feed Additive on Growth Performance, Some Biochemical Parameters and Antioxidant Status in Weaned Tuj Lambs

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) leaf powder supplementation in ration on performance, some blood serum biochemical parameters and antioxidant status in weaned Tuj lambs. Twenty-four Tuj male lambs with an average body weight of 11.5±0.3 kg in were allocated to three groups. While no supplementation was added to the basal ration of the control group, dried leaves of pennyroyal at the levels of 0.1% (P1) and 0.2% (P2) was added to the basal ration of treatment groups, respectively. During the experimental period (54 days) the lambs were to weighted individually twice a week and body weight gain (BWG), feed consumption (FC) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were estimated. Also, blood biochemical parameters and activity of antioxidant were determined. According to the study results, BWG, FC and FCR were not affected by pennyroyal supplementation. Moreover, there was no difference between the control and pennyroyal treatment groups regarding serum biochemical parameters such as glucose, triglyceride, and total protein in the study. Mineral substances as calcium and phosphorus levels were not influenced by supplementation of pennyroyal to the basal ration. malondialdehyde and glutathione were affected of Pennyroyal supplementation on 14th day. In conclusion, the supplementation of pennyroyal to lamb ration did not have a significant act on health and performance.
