Effect of Fenugreek seeds on nutrient digestibility and some blood parameters in Awassi rams

Abstract

Results a significant decrease in dry matter (72.62%) and organic matter (72.76) digestibility in the 2^nd treatment as compared with the other treatments, for organic matter respectively . Results also showed that fenugreek seeds had significant effect on ether extract but no effect on organic matter digestibility. It was noted significantly decrease in group fed on ration contained 6% on fenugreek seeds as compared with other treatments. moreover significant in fiber digestibility in group fed ration contained 6, 12 and 15% of fenugreek seeds as compared with other groups.

Significant (P<0.05) increase in blood glucose as fenugreek seeds levels increased in the rations accept the group fed on ration contained 3, 9% of fenugreek seeds. Triglyceride levels was significantly increase while cholesterol for decreased in the 4^th, 5^th and 6^th treatments as compared with the other treatments. It was noted significant increase in total protein in control group and the 1^st, 4^th and 6^th  as compared with the other group . However there was no significant differences there is no albumin treatment. Blood urea was significantly (P<0.05) increase in 2^nd, 3th, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th group as compared with 1^st group.
