Effect of adding wormwood base on liver function in the blood serum of broiler chickens (Ross) for 35-45 days

Abstract

This study was conducted in the field of poultry, Department of Animal Production - College of Agriculture - Omar Al-Mukhtar University in the month of October 2020 in the fall season, 14-day-old Ross breed birds were used in the experiment, which were randomly distributed into three groups and the treatments were as follows: Control treatment ( The control 0%) standard ration, the second treatment a standard ration to which wormwood was added (0.3 g/kg fodder) the third treatment was a standard ration to which wormwood was added (0.6 gm/kg fodder), and each group was divided into three replicates and each replicate was 10 birds. The experiment lasted for four weeks, and blood samples were taken in two stages, at the age of 35 and 45 days of age. The experiment included assessment of traits: liver function (enzymes),. The results of the experiment indicated that the addition of wormwood at 35 days of age led to a significant increase (P˂0.05) in the addition treatments 0.3, 0.6 artemisia compared to the control treatment in both the level characteristics, GPT, indirect bilirubin and albumin. While at the age of 45 days, a significant increase (P˂0.05) was observed in the level of GOT, albumin, while the results did not show a significant difference in the characteristics of GGT, total protein, globulin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin. Addition of wormwood (0.6, 0.3) at 45, 35 days of age had a clear effect on GPT, indirect bilirubin, albumin, GOT, and albumin.
