Abstract

The effect of various feeds on the fertility hormone levels and blood parameters were investigated using albino wistar rats of both sexes. The rats (140-180g) were housed in the animal house of physiology department of the University with room temperature 30.5 O C. The rats were divided into four groups of fifteen rats in each. Group A and C were fed with industrial feeds (Pelletised growers feed, Guinea Nig. Ltd) while groups B and D were fed with local feeds. Water was given ad libitum and the study lasted for 60 days. At the end of the experiment, the animals were sacrificed by cardiac puncture and blood samples collected for hormonal assay and blood analysis. Results showed that fertility hormones (FSH, LH, Prolactin, Progesterone, Testosterone) in the industrial feed/fed animals were significantly higher than the fertility hormones in the local feed-fed rats (p<0.01). Results of blood parameters also showed that the indices were significantly higher in the rats fed with industrial feed when compared with those fed with local feeds (P<0.01). Therefore it is concluded that fertility hormones and haematological indices in the rats fed with industrial feeds were significantly increased when compared with the rats fed with local feeds and this will improve oestrous cycle and more frequent gestation.

不同饲料对白化Wistar大鼠生育激素水平及血液指标影响的比较研究

研究了不同饲料对雄性和雌性白化wistar大鼠生殖激素水平和血液指标的影响。大鼠140 ~ 180g，饲养于大学生理学系动物舍，室温30.5℃。大鼠分为4组，每组15只。A组和C组分别饲喂工业饲料(颗粒化养殖饲料、豚鼠饲料;B组和D组饲喂当地饲料。随机饮水，试验期60 d。实验结束时，穿刺心脏处死动物，取血进行激素测定和血液分析。结果表明，工业饲料/饲养动物的生育激素(FSH、LH、Prolactin、Progesterone、Testosterone)显著高于本地饲养大鼠(p<0.01)。血液指标分析结果也显示，工业饲料组大鼠各项指标均显著高于局部饲料组(P<0.01)。由此可见，饲喂工业饲料的大鼠的生育激素和血液学指标明显高于饲喂地方饲料的大鼠，从而改善了发情周期，提高了妊娠频率。健康与视觉科学杂志(2013)卷15 (1):38 - 42
