The use of antioxidants for the correction of hyperthermia in ducks

Abstract

The state of the protein, carbohydrate-lipid and mineral metabolism, as well as the functional state of parenchymal organs using the drug Introvit-EC-100 Oral and ascorbic acid to correct hyperthermia in ducks are under the study. It was established that in all the studied groups there was a high content of total protein, due to dehydration and loss of the liquid component of the blood during hyperthermia. Ducks of the experimental groups showed a significant decrease in total protein level, β-globulins, an increase of albumin, a stable level of α- and γ-globulins was more pronounced in the first group. In ducks of the control group, no significant changes in the level of total protein and fractions, with the exception of α- and β-globulins, were found. During the experiment, there was a tendency of reduction of the creatinine content in the blood serum of ducks of both experimental groups, against the background of a consistently high level in ducks of the control group. Thus, the drug Introvit-EC-100 Oral, when used daily for 30 days at a prophylactic dose, has a significant effect on restoring the level of total serum protein, uric acid, creatinine, and the protein fraction ratio.
