EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTING RESVERATROL AND OLEUROPEIN ANTIOXIDANTS TO DIET IN SOME BIOCHEMICAL TRAITS OF BLOOD AND SOME HISTOLOGICAL TRAITS IN THE SMALL INTESTINE FOR BROILER CHICKENS

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the Poultry Farm of Animal Production Department / College of Agriculture at Al-Qasim green University for a period from 3/2/2020 to 16/3/2020 for (42 days) Atotal of 225 broiler chicks, (ROSS-308) unsexed ,day old, and provided feed and water was given ad libitum , The ambient temperature ranged from 18-34ᵒC and the relative humidity was 50-60%, chicks were distributed randomly into 5 treatments with 3 replicates per treatment 15 chick / replicate , the experimental treatments were as follows: (T1). control group without any addition, (T2 and T3) addition of resveratrol(res) at 250 and 500 mg. / Kg concentration diet respectively, (T4 and T5) addition oleuropein(ole) at of 250 and 500 mg / kg concentration diet respectively. Results showed that res and ole led to significant decrease (p<0.01) in Heterophil/ Lymphocyte (H / L) in all addition treatments compared with control. significant decrease in the serum concentration uric acid, cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins(LDL), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartat amino transferase(AST)with a significant increase (p<0.05) in serum total protein, albumin, as well as a significant increase (p<0.01) in serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in additive treatments compared with control, Adding res and ole led to significant improvement in histological parameters, as the villi length and width and the crypts depth were increased (p<0.01).
