EFFECT OF FENUGREEK POWDER AND MACKEREL FISH POWDER ON SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF WHITE MALE AND FEMALE RABBITS.

This research included study the effect of replacement a part of the traditional feed of rabbits with fenugreek powder (4%) and mackerel fish (8%) for the period from 11/12/2019 to 20/12/2019 was studied on some physiological and / biochemical characteristics of 30 rabbits (15 males and 15 females) After dividing them into six groups, (5) rabbits for each group. The study showed that: i)The powder results showed a significant decrease in the (follicles stimulating hormone, luteinizing and testosterone hormone), and increase the level of (prolactin hormone) in groups treated with fenugreek powder,and groups treated with mackerel fishes powder of both males and females compared to control group, and ii) the results of liver enzymes showed no significant differences in AST level in the both male groups (the fenugreek powder treated group, mackerel fishes powder treated group), while there was a significant decrease in the females groups for both treatments. The results showed a significant increase in ALT enzyme in the female groups (treated with fenugreek leaves powder and mackerel fishes powder). In the male groups, there was a significant decrease in ALT enzyme in the group treated with mackerel fishes powder, while there was no significant change in the group treated with fenugreek powder. For the enzyme ALP, there was no significant difference in the concentration of this enzyme in the both females groups (treated with fenugreek powder and treated with powder mackerel fishes powder), while the results showed a significant increase in the male groups for the same treatments.
