PROTECTIVE ROLE OF EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS AGAINST PESTICIDES RESIDUES TOXICITY ON TOMATO HAULMS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE OF DAIRY GOATS.

Fifteen lactating Zaraibi does were assigned to study the effect of EM ability to prevent the probably toxicology effect of the residues of pesticides remained in tomato haulms (TH). Animals were fed ad libitum fresh TH (T1), TH silage (T2) and TH silage treated with EM (T3) and concentrate feed mixture (CFM). Treatment with EM (T3) was resulted in less concentrations of pesticides residues compared to T1 and T2. Higher milk yield, milk composition and 4% FCM were followed EM treatment; T1 had less milk fat content than T2 and T3. All pesticides concentrations residues in milk were higher in T1, but it had less degree in T2 and not detected for T3 Treatment TH with EM (T3) had higher concentrations of TVFA's, acetate, gas production, total count of cellulosic bacteria and less protozoa. T1 had higher concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT and less glucose, albumin and globulin than those for T2 and T3. So, biological (EM) treatment could be advisable to overcome the harmful effect of feeding TH exposure to pesticides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
