Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing a basal diet with different levels of dietary pomegranate peels on some blood profile in Karadi lambs. Sixteen individual Karadi male lambs were used having age ranged between 4.5-5 months and average weight 23.29±0.42 kg. These lambs were divided into 4 groups. Basal diet was mixed with different levels of pomegranate peels powder at the rate of 0, 1, 2, 4% for 63 day. Diet was introduced ad libitum at 3% of live body weights twice a daily. At the end of the feeding period, biochemical analysis lipid profile (Total cholesterol, High-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglyceride and LDL/HDL ratio), total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron and copper) were measured. The results indicated that supplementation of pomegranate peel in diet at the level of 1, 2 and 4% had a significant effect on LDL, ratio of LDL and HDL, albumin, creatinine, chloride, iron and copper in lambs.
