Abstract
The current study was conducted the effect of adding cumin cyminym seeds to concentrated feed on some blood biochemical parameters of black local goats. Fifteen female black goats aged 3 years, third milk production season. The study was in a private animal field of the Department of Animal Production- College of Agriculture/ University of Diyala, during the period from 1/11/2018 to 16/4/2019. The goats were divided randomly into three equal groups, 5 for each group. The first group (T1) left without treatment as a control group. The second group (T2) was given 10 g of cumin seed powder to the concentrated feed/ animal per day. The third group (T3) was given 20 g of cumin seed powder to the concentrated feed/ animal per day. Blood samples were collected before the experiment (Zero day) and at the end of the experiment (3 months), 10 ml from jugular vein by via vacationer tubes without anticoagulant. Blood biochemical parameters were also estimated includes: Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, Glucose, Urea and Triglycerides. The results showed no significant (P>0.05) in Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, Glucose, Urea and Triglycerides between (Zero day) and at the end of the experiment (3 months) and between different treated groups during the study period. It was concluded from this study that addition of cumin seed powder to the black local goats ration have no effects on some blood biochemical parameters.
Highlights
Goats are raised in the production of meat, milk, hair, and leather in abundance in the world
Several studies have indicated the possibility of using medicinal plants to improve the productive characteristics of farm animals (3), including cumin seeds, which are considered a stimulus for growth and stimulate the secretion of various digestive enzymes and lead to improving the efficiency of food digestion and stimulate milk tissue in the mammary glands to form and secrete milk, which leads to Improving milk production for milk cattle (4)
The current study was conducted in the animal field of the Department of Animal Production- College of Agriculture/ University of Diyala, for the period from 1/11/2018 to 16/4/2019 and 15 female black goats aged 3 years and the third milk production season are used in this experiment, randomly distributed transactions on 3 treatments and by 5 animals per treatment, the experiments included adding different levels of cumin seeds and the treatments were distributed as follows: The first Group T1 without addition, the second treatment T2: adding 10 g of cumin seed powder to the concentrated feed/ animal per day, the third treatment T3: adding 20 g of cumin seed powder to the concentrated feed/ animal per day immediately after birth
Summary
Goats are raised in the production of meat, milk, hair, and leather in abundance in the world. Goats are distinguished by high metabolic efficiency, having twins, long productive lives, efficient use of pastures, his eating of feed that is not consumed by other animals; the price of it is attributed to sheep, his early sexual attainment and the diversity of his production (1). Several studies have indicated the possibility of using medicinal plants to improve the productive characteristics of farm animals (3), including cumin seeds, which are considered a stimulus for growth and stimulate the secretion of various digestive enzymes and lead to improving the efficiency of food digestion and stimulate milk tissue in the mammary glands to form and secrete milk, which leads to Improving milk production for milk cattle (4). This study was conducted with the aim of explaining the effect of adding cumin seeds to concentrated feed on the production of milk and its ingredients for local black goats
