“…Cholesterol levels of ram lambs were the highest level (P≤0.05) in control (70 mg/dL) followed by T1 (69.17 mg/dL) and T2 (68.11 mg/dL). The increases in concentrations of plasma protein and albumin due to fish oil is in agreement with previous results reported by Teama and El-Tarabany (2016) who found that total protein levels are significantly increased as a result of supplementation of omega-3 plus in the diet of goats. No differences were detected for total globulin, which was in accordance with the report of (Kholif et al, 2016) and A/G ratio, with (Abu El-Hamd et al, 2015).…”

This study was carried out to determine the influence of fish oil supplementation on growth performance and some biochemical parameters of Ossimi ram lambs. Fifteen Ossimi male lambs were divided randomly into three groups (5 animals/treatment). The first group was fed the basal diet without any addition and served as a control. While the 2 nd (T1) and 3 rd (T2) groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with fish oil at levels of 1.5 and 3% dry matter (DM), respectively. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance GLM by SAS program. The results revealed that the live body weight (LBW) and daily weight gains (DWG) were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in the treated lambs compared to the control group. Concentrations of total protein, albumen, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transferees (ALT) activities increased significantly (P ≤ 0.05) by given dietary fish oil than control diet. While, cholesterol was significantly lower (P≤0.05) in treated ram lambs than in those of the untreated ram lambs. In conclusion, fish oil supplementation at a rate of 1.5 and 3% DM to ram lambs improved growth performance and blood parameters.

“…Though, alteration among bucks treated groups was statistically nonsignificant in respect of serum tri-iodothyronine this result is harmony with Abdalla et al (2015) who reported that supplementation of 15% olive pomace concentration significantly (P<0.01) increased T3 concentration (40.80%) in goat compared to control group during hot summer. The results were inconsistent with that of Teama et al (2016) who reported significantly higher level of T3 hormones in goat that was fed with omega-3 plus, 30% fish oil, during warm summer for total duration of 4 months during hot summer.…”

Teddy is highly proliferative goat breed, as female of this breed are famous for high twining rates. Feed supplementation of olive oil has been shown to improve semen quality of goat bucks. In this study, the effect of feed supplementation with olive oil on serum testosterone, triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and some biochemical metabolites in teddy goat bucks were investigated. For this purpose, 9 adult male goats, with clinically normal reproductive tract, were randomly separated into by three equal assemblies A, B and C. Animals in Cluster A were fed control ration (control group), whereas goats in group B and C were nourished with complemented 15 and 30 ml Olive oil, respectively, in morning daily for 8 weeks. Blood was collected weekly from each experimental animal and analyzed for serum testosterone, T3 and T4 concentration through ELISA. Similarly, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose were determined using commercially available kits. Results revealed that serum concentrations of testosterone, T3 and T4 were higher (P<0.05) in bucks of groups B and C compared to those of control group. However, differences in concentration of these hormones between bucks of the former two groups were non-significant. Among biochemical metabolites, serum ALT, total cholesterol and triglycerides differed significantly (P<0.05) among three groups, with highest in control group and lowest in group C. Serum AST activity was also lower in bucks of assembly B and C than control, but, changes between groups B and C were non-significant. Similarly, the treatment had no effect on serum glucose concentrations. Based on results of the present studies, it was concluded that feed supplementation of olive oil improves semen quality and libido of Teddy goat bucks. However, its effects on health biomarkers and fertility rates of buck may be investigated before making any recommendation.

“…Other authors have shown that DHA dietary supplementation has a stimulatory effect on IgG and IgM production in rat splenocytes (both immunoglobulins) and mesenteric lymph node (only IgG) with no effect on IgA production (Hung et al, 1999). Also in goats, supplementation with mixtures of n-3 acids (mainly EPA and DHA) resulted in increased IgG serum concentration (Teama and El-Tarabany, 2016). In the study on calves fed MR supplemented with fish oil, only secondary IgG humoral response to ovalbumin was affected with no influence on the primary response (Ballou and De Peters, 2008).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of docosahexaenoic acid-rich algae (DHA-RA) supplementation in milk replacer (MR) on performance, selected cytokine expression in lymphocytes, and blood immunoglobulin concentration in newborn dairy calves. Forty female Holstein-Friesian calves (8.6 ± 0.8 d old and 41.1 ± 4.3 kg; mean ± standard deviation) were blocked by date of birth and allocated into 4 experimental groups (10 animals/group): ( 1) not supplemented with DHA-RA, (2) supplemented with 9 g of DHA-RA/d in MR, (3) supplemented with 18 g of DHA-RA/d in MR, and (4) supplemented with 27 g of DHA-RA/d in MR. Milk replacer was fed in an amount equal to 900 g of MR powder/d (as fed), 2 times a d, for 49 d. Starter mixture (SM) was fed ad libitum beginning on d 15 of the study.Each calf was in the study over a period of 49 d. The MR and SM intake and fecal score were recorded daily and body weight was recorded weekly. Blood samples were collected before the morning feeding, at the beginning of the study, every consecutive week, and at the end of the study for morphology and smear analysis, serum immunoglobulin level (IgG, IgA, and IgM), and lymphocyte isolation. The mRNA isolated from lymphocytes was checked for TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and p65 expression. Average daily gain between d 1 to 14 of the study increased quadratically with increasing dose of DHA-RA. However, average daily gain between d 15 to 49 of the study tended to linearly decrease and over the whole study linearly decreased with increasing dose of DHA-RA. The MR intake decreased linearly between d 1 to 14 of the study and over the whole study, and mean SM intake decreased quadratically with increasing dose of DHA-RA. Feed efficiency increased quadratically and fecal score decreased quadratically during the first 14 d of the study. Increasing dose of DHA-RA led to cubic changes in feed efficiency and fecal score between d 15 and 49 of the study. Overall, over the whole study period a tendency was observed for lower fecal score for the DHA-RA supplemented groups. Interleukin-1β mRNA expression decreased linearly, whereas the mRNA expression of p65 and TNFα as well as serum IgG concentration tended to decrease linearly with increasing dose of supplemental DHA-RA. No effect of group was found on IgA and IgM serum level and the majority of blood parameters. Altogether, treatment worsened production variables but seemed to have a beneficial effect on the immune system of calves.
