The influence of Citrosept addition to drinking water and <em>Scutellaria baicalensis</em> root extract on the content of selected mineral elements in the blood plasma of turkey hens.
Journal Title: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this research work was to indicate the influence of Citrosept preparation and [i]Scutellaria baicalensis[/i] root extract, administered [i]per os[/i] to growing turkey hens in 3 different dosages, on the content of selected mineral elements in blood plasma of slaughter turkey hens. An attempt was also made to specify the most effective dosage of the applied preparations with the highest efficiency as regards increased levels of examined macro- and microelements in the birds&amp;rsquo; blood. The research experiment was conducted on 315 turkey hens randomly divided into seven groups, each consisting of 45 turkey hens. Group K constituted the control group without experimental additions of the above-mentioned preparations. When it comes to turkey hens which belonged to groups II-IV, Citrosept preparation was instilled to water in the following dosages: Group II &amp;ndash; 0.011 ml/kg of bm; Group III &amp;ndash; 0.021 ml/kg of bm; Group IV &amp;ndash; 0.042 ml/kg bm. For birds which belonged to groups V-VII preparation, which was [i]Scutellaria baicalensis[/i] root extract, was instilled to water in the following dosages: Group V &amp;ndash; 0.009 ml/kg of bm; Group VI &amp;ndash; 0.018 ml/kg of bm, Group VII &amp;ndash; 0.036 ml/kg bm. In the examined plant extracts and blood plasma of the birds the levels of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, and Fe were identified. The use of examined extracts influenced the changes in the levels of all tested elements in slaughter turkey hens&amp;rsquo; blood plasma. An upward tendency was recorded which regarded the level of calcium and magnesium, and a downward tendency of sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, and iron in relation to the results achieved in the control group.
