The Effect of use of Humic Acid in Some Blood Parameters and Rumen Protozoa in Norduz Lambs
Öz
This study investigated the effect of different levels of humic acid on some rumen and blood
parameters and rumen protozoa in Norduz sheep. The study was designed and conducted in four-factor repeated
measures analysis of variance. Totally 24, approximately 16-week old, female Norduz sheep were used in the study.
Four feeding groups were designed. The frst group was not given humic acid (C, control GI); the second group
was given humic acid of 0.015% of the live weights of the sheep (GII); the third group was given humic acid of
0.030% of the live weights of the sheep (GIII); the fourth group was given humic acid of 0.060% of the live weights
of the sheep (GIV). A total of eight sheep having similar ages and live weights were randomly distributed to each
group (live weights of 40.230±1.25). The feed consumed by the sheep was limited to 2.5% of their live weights.
Blood and rumen fluid samples were collected 2 times (before the test and on 25th day of the test). Comparison of
some blood parameters were collected from the animals before and after the test revealed no signifcant difference
in serum triglyceride and rumen pH levels. It was observed that while live weight, blood serum total protein, blood
serum potassium, chloride, and sodium levels decreased (P< 0.05), blood urea and number of rumen protozoa
increased (P< 0.05). Considering the values obtained before and after the test, the use of humic acid increased the
number of rumen protozoa without negatively affecting blood parameters.
