By Growth, Antioxidant and Hemato-biochemical Status of Barbari Kids Supplemented With Vanadium

Abstract

This study aims to investigate to see the impact of vanadium (V) supplementation inclined on growth performance, antioxidant and hemato-biochemical status of Barbari kids. Twenty-one Barbari kids (6 to 12-months) was elected form LRC-2, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. According to their body weight (19.27±3.18 kg) and age (8.85±0.58 months), the goat kids were separated into three groups (n=7) randomly. 1. Control group was provided a total mixed ration (TMR) basal diet without any supplementation of vanadium. 2. T1 group was provided TMR basal diet with vanadium (1.5 mg/kg DM/kids/day). 3. T2 group was offered TMR basal diet with vanadium (3.0 mg/kg DM/kids/day) for 90 days in the investigational period. Body weight was monitored every fortnight and the body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were calculated using the body weight and feed consumption. Blood samples were collected every two weeks during the study and plasma samples were examined for antioxidant and biochemical profiles. Body weight was significantly (P<0.05) difference among the groups over all fortnight of investigational period. In the vanadium-treated groups, body weight and feed consumption were increase statistically significantly (P<0.05) than in the control groups. Feed conversion ratio was shows no significantly (P>0.05) in vanadium supplemented among groups of the study period. Total antioxidant status was recorded higher significantly (P<0.05) in T2 than control and T1 groups. The levels of superoxide dismutase in the different groups changed significantly (P<0.05). Catalase was statistically higher in both the treatment groups. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance was lesser in T1 and T2 as compared control groups. Hemoglobin was observed significantly (P<0.05) higher in all three groups. The vanadium supplementation was unaffected in PCV. Total leukocyte count was elevated with the supplementation of vanadium and was observed significantly higher in all the groups. Neutrophil and Lymphocyte was not affected with vanadium supplementation and shows no significant among groups. Total immunoglobulin was statistically (P<0.05) higher in T1 and T2 than control group. Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, ALT, AST and ALP were not affected with the supplementation of vanadium and found statistically similar in the all three groups. Triglyceride was recorded higher significant in T2 groups as compared to control and T1 groups. The study accomplished that the dietary fed of vanadium elevated the growth, antioxidant status and hemato- biochemical of Barbari kids.
