Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of Salicornia europaea L. extract on growth performance and serum biochemical indexes of sheep. Sixty Altay rams with similar body weight[(32.52±2.83) kg] and good body condition were randomly divided into 4 groups (5 replicates in each group and 3 sheep in each replicate), which fed the basic diet (control group), the basal diet+0.2% Salicornia europaea L. extract (0.2% group), the basal diet+0.4% Salicornia europaea L. extract (0.4% group) and the basal diet+0.6% Salicornia europaea L. extract (0.6% group), respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 11 days, and the experimental period lasted for 45 days. The results showed as follows:1) the average daily gain during days 16 to 30 of 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), and the feed to gain ratio during days 31 to 45 and days 1 to 45 of 0.4% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). 2) The serum total protein (TP) content of 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the serum globulin (GLB) content of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 3) The serum triglyceride (TG) content of 0.4% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the serum glucose (GLU) content of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 4) The serum alanine transaminase (ALT) activity of 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01), and the serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). 5) The serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) content of 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) content of 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), the contents of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.01), the serum interleukin-10 (IL-10) content of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), and the serum interferon-γ (IFN-γ) content of 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). 6) The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in serum of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.01), and the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content of 0.4% and 0.6% group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). In conclusion, under the experimental conditions, dietary supplemented with Salicornia europaea L. extract helps to improve the growth rate, reduces the weight to gain ratio, and improves the immune performance and antioxidant ability of sheep. Dietary supplemented 0.4% Salicornia europaea L. extract has better effects.
