Abstract | ||||
This study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary vitamin E (DL-α-tocopherol acetate) on growth performance, amount of malondialdehyde in serum, serum vitamin E level, haematological and biochemical metabolites of Mahali goat kids. Twenty four male kids weighing 10-15 kg were randomly allocated to one of four groups to receive four different treatments of vitamin E. Group one (control, C), 2nd group received 300IU vitamin E (300 E), 3rd group received 500IU vitamin E (500 E), and 1000IU vitamin E (1000 E) in the 4th group. The animals were housed in separated pens and fed concentrate with a barley hay diet. Blood samples were weekly collected through the jugular vein for haematological and biochemical analysis. The evaluation of malondialdehyde and vitamin E content in serum was performed. The result revealed that vitamin E significantly increased red blood cells (RBC), Haemoglobin (HB), white blood cells (WBC), and differential white blood cells. Vitamin E significantly (p < 0.001) increased level of vitamin E in serum, while, reduced total protein (TP), albumin, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), high density lipoproteins (HDL), cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of vitamin E may effectively improved haematological, biochemical parameters, serum α-tocopherol content as well as malondialdehyde of Mahali goat kids. | ||||
