The Biophysiological Impact of Alcoholic Extract of Turamic with or without Folic Acid in Awassi Ewes, Comparative Study

Abstract

The aim of the study was to demonstrate the physiological effectiveness of the alcoholic extract of curcumin with or without the addition of folic acid in some blood measurements and biochemical characteristics blood of adult ewes, compare the coefficients and find the best treatment in terms of positive changes to the physiological status of the animal’s body. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of alcoholic extract of curcumin at a concentration of (100 mg/mL/kg) and folic acid at a concentration of (8 mg/ mL/kg) and their combination based on these coefficients in twenty ewes and for sixty days. the current study indicated effect of alcoholic extract of curcumin and folic acid and curcumin-folic acid mixture groups as a decrease in blood sugar and total protein levels, an increase in blood albumin levels and a decrease in liver enzymes represented by Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine Aminotransferase. This study was concluded that using of alcoholic extract of turmeric and folic acid alone and as a combination led to significant and vital changes in some of the chemical qualities of Awassi sheep in terms of a decrease in blood sugar and total protein levels, in conjunction with an increase in serum albumin levels and a decrease in liver enzymes in the study parameters.
