The Effects of Vitamin E on some Haematological and Biochemical values in the lambs

Abstract

This study has been done to determine the effect of vitamin E on some blood haematological and biochemical values in lambs. Four Akkaraman lambs were fed with vitamin E (DL-/alpha tocopheryl acetate) supplemented diet (250 mg/kg feed) and four lambs were used as control. The blood biochemical and haematological values were measured at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 weeks. The blood ammonia nitrogen levels of all lambs were measured weekly intervals and at three times (Before feeding and at the 3rd and 6th hours after feeding). The haemoglobin and serum glucose levels were higher (p
