The effect of different methods of using essential fennel oil on liver and kidney processes in native chickens
Doctor Veterinary Medicine, Islamic Azad University, Babol Branch, Iran
ABSTRACT
Medicinal plants and their products, such as vegetable leachates or essential oils, have been introduced as ingredients for use in the diet of broiler chickens, whose beneficial effects have been proven as herbal food additives. Depending on the plant origin, the plant products used can include various plant parts, essential oils, plant leachates, plant secondary metabolites and other plant derivatives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different methods of using critical fennel oil on biochemical parameters of blood serum in native chickens. Thirty native chickens (5 months) were randomly divided into three groups of 10, including the control group, receiving fennel extract by gavage, and receiving fennel extract, which fed the extract mixed with feed. Fennel extract was used orally and by gavage on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 13. To evaluate liver and kidney factors, in three stages, the first stage on day one, the second stage on day eight and the third stage on day 15, 5 cc of blood was taken from each bird through the wing vein. Blood was then sent to the laboratory for testing for uric acid, creatinine kinase, aspartate transferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transferase (ALT), HDL. Based on the results, the amount of creatine on the second day in gavage treatment was significantly different from other treatments (P> 0.05). Still, on other days no significant difference was observed between treatments (P <0.05), ALP level between treatments was not significantly different (P <0.05), AST level on the second day in the two treatment groups was significantly different from the control treatment (P> 0.05). Still, on other days no significant differences were observed between treatments (P <0.05). ALT levels on the second day in the treatment of fennel recipient with feed were significantly different from other treatments (P> 0.05). Still, on other days no significant difference was observed between treatments (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in HDL between treatments (P <0.05). Uric acid on the first day in the control treatment was significantly different from other treatments (P> 0.05). Still, on other days no significant difference was observed between the treatments (P <0.05).
