“…Salem et al [25] reported that supplementing the diet with tannin did not affect the serum cholesterol content, which is different from our results. It was reported that supplementation of fat in the diet could increase the cholesterol synthesis in the small intestine and increase the chance of fat absorption [33]. This conclusion is in agreement with the higher concentration of serum cholesterol in oil treatments of the present study.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tannin extract and n-3 fatty acid supplementation on nutrient digestibility, ruminal parameters, blood metabolites, and enzyme activity in lactating ewes. Thirty-six lactating ewes were allocated to 6 experimental groups. The dietary treatments were as follows: 1) control, 2) diet supplemented with 2% dry matter (DM) oak leaf tannin extract, 3) diet supplemented with 2% DM grape pomace tannin extract, 4) diet supplemented with 2% DM linseed oil, 5) diet supplemented with 2% DM oak leaf tannin extract and 2% DM linseed oil, and 6) diet supplemented with 2% DM grape pomace tannin extract and 2% DM linseed oil. The results showed the significant effects of treatments on final body weight, digestibility, and some blood metabolites (P < 0.05). Therefore, the treatment groups had higher final body weight, better nutrient digestibility, and higher values of blood parameters. In conclusion, our results showed that the dietary tannin extract and the n-3 fatty acid source improved nutrient digestibility and blood metabolites, and they had a trend of improving the ruminal volatile fatty acid profile while not having any adverse effects on the animals' performance.

“…Measuring some enzyme activities and their concentrations in the blood is helpful to monitor liver health and function [33]. Aminotransferases are responsible for amino acid metabolism, and their activity is highly related to the organ's energy status [32].…”

“…The two doses used produced no alteration in the values of total proteins and glucose, and a very low Lambs with the highest number of parasites recovered increase in those of albumin and bilirubin in the animals infected with D. dendriticum in comparison to the controls, or to uninfected sheep (Desco et al 1989, Ovis aries ligeriensis). In general, the AST, ALT, LDH, ALP and GGT values did increase; this was above all the case for those of AST and ALT in the lambs tested with 3,000 metacercariae.…”

Hepatic marker enzymes, biochemical parameters and pathological effects in lambs experimentally infected with Dicrocoelium dendriticum (Digenea)

Hepatic enzymes and biochemical parameter values were analysed in the sera of 32 lambs: 12 infected with 1,000 Dicrocoelium dendriticum metacercariae, 12 with 3,000 and eight controls. Blood samples were collected at intervals of 30 days from day 0 post-infection (p.i.). Half the lambs in each group were slaughtered on days 60 and 180 p.i, respectively. A histopathological and ultrastructural study was carried out on the liver, gall bladder and hepatic lymph nodes of all animals. A minute increase was detected in the bilirubin (7%) and albumin (3%) values in the infected lambs (with 30-2,063 worms) in comparison with those of the controls. The hepatic enzyme values did increase, above all aspartate aminotransferase (19%) and alanine aminotransferase (22%), mainly in the lambs tested with 3,000 metacercariae (38% and 48%, respectively). The increase was significant 60 days p.i. The severity of the lesions was closely associated with the parasite burden.

“…The two doses (1000 and 3000 metacercariae) used produced no alteration in the values of total proteins and glucose and only a very low increase in those of albumin and bilirubin of the lambs infected with D. dendriticum compared with those controls, or with uninfected sheep (Desco et al, 1989). The lack of change in the total protein values and the slight increase in albumin levels observed by us coincides with results obtained by Theodoridis et al (1991), who considered that worm burdens of up to 4000 D. dendriticum do not cause significant blood or plasma protein loss in naturally infected sheep.…”
