ABSTRACTEighteen growing lambs averaged 3 months old and 16.92±1.23 kg body weight were used to assess the dose-response of vitamin E and Selenium (Se) injection on growth performance, hemato-biochemical indices, thyroid hormones, immune and antioxidant status. Lambs were randomly allocated into 3 equal groups (6 lambs each). The 1st group served as control and injected with 1.0 ml/head of sterile saline solution (0.9 % NaCl). The 2nd (T1) and the 3rd (T2) groups received vitamin E and Se injection at rate 0.5 ml/head (contained 3.57 IU vitamin E + 0.03 mg Se/head/day) and 1.0 ml/head (contained 7.14 IU vitamin E + 0.06 mg Se/head/day), respectively. The injection solution was administered biweekly and continued for 12 weeks. The results show that lambs received T2 had heavier (P<0.05) final body weight (FBW) than the control and T1. Average daily gain (ADG) was improved (P<0.05) for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. There was a significant (P<0.05) increase in FBW and ADG of lambs received T2 compared with those of T1. No significant differences in dry matter intake for lambs of T1 and T2 vs. control, while averages of feed conversion ratio were improved (P<0.05) for lambs received T2 compared to T1 and control. Lambs of T2 had higher (P<0.05) concentration of blood Hb and PCV % than those of T1 and control. The increase (P<0.05) in RBCs count was dose-dependent for lambs received T1 and T2. Leucocytes count and lymphocytes (%) increased (P<0.01) for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. Moreover, lambs of T2 had higher (P<0.05) concentrations of serum total protein and globulin than those of T1 and control. Serum cholesterol concentration decreased (P<0.05) for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. Also, lambs received T1 and T2 had higher (P<0.05) serum immunoglobulin G concentrations than the control. Serum triiodothyronine (T3) levels and T3:T4 ratio increased (P<0.05) for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. In addition, the results showed that serum total antioxidant capacity increased (P<0.01) for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. Lambs received T2 had higher (P<0.05) serum superoxide dismutase activity than those of control and T1. There were dose-dependent increases (P<0.05) in serum glutathione peroxidase activity for lambs received T1 and T2 vs. control. No significant differences in neutrophils, eosinophils,basophils, monocytes (%), serum levels of glucose, albumin, AST enzyme and T4 hormone due to injection of vitamin E and Se. These results show that injection of vitamin E and Se could exert dose-dependent beneficial effects on growing lambs which improve their growth performance concomitant with favourable signs for physiological responses, enhancing their immune function and antioxidant status.

ABSTRACTThe ameliorative effect of ascorbic acid supplementation and drinking chilled water on heat stress was studied on ram lambs. Twenty male ram lambs were randomly divided into four equal groups of five animals each and nearly similar in age and weight. The 1st group served as control (CTR), the 2nd group was given cold water (10-15 °C) without adding vitamin C (G1), the 3rd group was supplemented with ascorbic acid at rate 2.5 g/h/d (G2), the 4th group was supplemented with ascorbic acid in addition to the cold water (G3). All animals exposed to the same managerial and climatic condition during the complete experimental period. Body weight (BW) recorded at the beginning, then at biweekly intervals until end of the experiment. Feed intake, feed conversion efficiency, water intake per unit body gain and water intake per unit feed intake were calculated for each lamb. Rectal and ear temperatures, respiratory and pulse rates were measured. Blood plasma samples were analyzed for some blood constituents (total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, total cholesterol, ALT, AST, calcium (Ca++) and potassium (K+)). Total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, cholesterol and calcium concentrations were significantly higher (P≤0.001), however liver enzymes AST and ALT were significantly lower (P≤0.001) in the blood plasma of treated lambs (G1, G2 and G3) than those in control group. Cumulative feed intake, body weight gain, and cumulative water intake were significantly higher (P≤0.01) in G3 than other three groups. Rectal temperature (P≤0.05), respiration rate and pulse rate (P≤0.01) increased significantly, while ear temperature was not significantly affected by treatment. In conclusion, ascorbic acid supplementation ameliorates the adverse effect of heat stress during summer season. The body temperature, respiration and pulse rates have decreased as a result of the use of cold water or supply of ascorbic acid. Therefore, availability of cold water is paramount to prevent heat stress in sheep, especially during periods of extended hot and humidity.
