Effect of Addition Sodium Becarbonate in Growth Rate and some Blood Parameters for Lammbs Awassi

Abstract

15 Awassi Lambs was used Average weights (41 kg ±1.45 age 24 month) belonging to a sheep station in Salahalddin Agriculture for period 1/11/2013 to 1/2/2014. The lambs were divided randomly into three equal groups, (First is control and second group fed a diet containing sodium bicarbonate at a rate of 0.75 kg / 100 kg Concentrated feed , Third were fed a diet containing sodium bicarbonate at a rate of 1.25 kg / 100 kg Concentrated feed) for the purpose of knowing Is that the addition of sodium bicarbonate two levels have a positive impact and any level best in the monthly growth rate and some blood standards for lambs under study . The results showed that lambs fed on two levels of sodium bicarbonate has registered Monthly growth rate higher than the control group during the study period also showed the treatment sodium becarbonate metabolic changes reflected a significant increase ( P <0.01) in the concentration of glucose and a decrease in the concentration of cholesterol As well as the increase in the number of red blood cells and a decrease in white blood cells of the lambs under study. We conclude from this study that the addition of sodium bicarbonate for lambs Awassi had a positive impact in improving growth and metabolism at the Lambs .
