| Abstract |
The objective of the present study was to assess the potential effects of aflatoxin AFB, on some nutritional and biochemical aspects of Barki ewes. Eight Barki ewes at 3-4 years of age, 52±1.5kg body weight divided into 2 equal groups, on body weight basis, each treatment consists of 4 individual ewes were used in the present experiments.
The ingested aflatoxin contaminated ration caused a significant decline (P<0.05) in dry matter intake, digestibility coefficients, nutritive value, nitrogen utilization, NH3-N concentration, VFA’s concentration values, in situ degradability of dry matter (DM), and crude protein (CP), the average daily milk yield and chemical composition of milk compared to the control animals. While, treatment with aflatoxin caused significant increase in drinking water and the excretion of aflatoxin in milk (A FM1). The ingested aflatoxin contaminated ration caused a significant decline (P<0.05) in serum total protein and albumin. However, they caused a significant increase (P<0.05) in urea, creatinine, palsma aspartate anubitrabsferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
Keywords: aflatoxin, performance, milk yield, blood biochemical characteristics, lactating ewes.
