Abstract:
This study was carried out from 12 - 3 - 2011 to 29 - 4 - 2011 to find out the protective importance of goat milk and its effects on some productive traits ( body weight , weight gain , feed intake, and feed conversion efficiency) ,some immunological traits ( white blood cells , percent of lymphocyte cells) ,some biochemical traits (total serum protein , albumin ,globulin ) ,some physiological traits ( hemoglobin and Packed cell volume) in the rabbits treated with Amoxicillin - clavulanic acid.A total of (32) female rabbits (local breed) aged range between 2 - 3 months with average of initial body weight 1706.25 gm.were distributed randomly into four groups each one consist of eight rabbits as below : 1 - Control group ( C ) : Fed basal diet without any addition.2 - First treatment group ( T1 ) : Fed the same basal diet + 5 mg ? kg b.w. x 2 amoxi - clavulanic acid for one week3 - Second treatment group ( T2) : Fed the same basal diet +( 5 mg ? kg b.w. x 2 amoxi - clavulanic acid + 5ml x2 raw goat milk ) for one week.4 - Third treatment group ( T3 ) : Fed the same basal diet + 5ml x2 raw goat milk for one week.The experiment continued for five weeks in which each rabbit weight at weekly interval and the residual feed weighed daily ,The results revealed the following : - Treatment one showed signs of gastric ulcer ,diarrhea , small and large intestinal inflammation ,while T2 group ( antibiotic + goat milk ) did not show any signs of gastric ulcer, diarrhea and their digestive system normal like the control ( C ) and Treatment three ( T3 ) group ( goat milk ).Body weight of ( T3 ) group recorded significantly) P < 0.05 )increased as compared with body weight of T1 group in all study weeks. And recorded the highest body weight among the other study groups during all periods of the study weeks (1769.12, 1751.37,1795.00 , 1824.25 ,1852.75) gm respectively.Animals in group ( T3 ) exceeded in weekly body weight gain as compared with other treatment groups during the studied period except the second week ( 62.87, - 5.25, 32.5, 29.25 , 28.5) gm respectively.Treatment ( 1 ) showed decrease in weekly feed intake on the first 4 weeks of study ) 60 , 42.51 , 44.88 , 34.25 gm )respectively as compared with C and T3 groups.Treatment ( 3 ) showed that feed conversion efficiency means recorded better value during the fifth weeks of studied weeks and was ( 5.53 , - 64.30 , 10.79 , 11.98, 12.11) gm food ? gm gain respectively recorded.There are significant increases ) P < 0.05 ) in white blood cell means for C ( control ), T2 , T3 groups) 6.352, , 6.32 6.45) x 10 3 ? ?L. compare with the T1 group ( 4.772 x 10 3 ? ?L ) and also lymphocyte percentage means of T1 (38.95 % ) showed significant lower ) P < 0.05 ) compared with other treatment groups ( C , T2, T3 ) ( 55.05 , 54.80 , 57.07 ) respectively.The control and T3 groups showed significant) P < 0.05 ) exceeded in hemoglobin and packed cells volume as compared with T1 and T2 groups which there is no significant difference between them.Where the average of four treatment group control ,T1 ,T2, T3 record 44.837 , 38.675 , 38.825 , 44.800 respectively.Treatment 3 exceeded other treatment groups in the total protein ( 88.156 )gm/l and also T1 group showed significant ) P < 0.05 ) decrease in albumin ratio ( 26.682 ) gm/l, while T1 showed significantly ) P < 0.05 ) higher in their gamma globulin compared with other treatment groups.Treatment 3 and 1 groups showed significant ) P < 0.05 ) increase in liver relative weight as compared with the control and T2 groups and the liver relative weight means of the ( C ,T1 ,T2 ,T3 ) groups as followed respectively 2.64, 3.05, 2.53 , 3.08 %.
