The effect of adding potato peels (Solanum tuberosum( in diets of local squabs on the haematological characteristic of blood

Abstract

The study aimed to the evaluation the hematological parameters of  blood in male squabs fed diets contained different levels of  potato peels by 0, 10 and 20 %. This study was conducted at the research unit,  Animal Production Department Faculty Of agriculture, University Of Omar Al-Mukhtar from 1^st March to 15 April 2019. The used Fifteen  squabs, one-month age were used, divided into three equal groups.

The results showed that the use of potato peel did not cause any significant effect (p> 0.05) on the blood parameters, as the values ​​of hemoglobin, red and white blood cells, total protein, albumin and globulin did not differ while the volume of cells and white blood cells increased significantly (p< 0.05). Neutralize in male blood serum pigeons fed on feed diets on potato peels.

The use of potato peels reduced total lipid and cholesterol ( p< 0.05)  without affecting both triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (p> 0.05), but the inclusion of potato peels in diets of male pigeons resulted in a significant reduction (p< 0.05)  of the lipoprotein High density.
