The The Effect of Adding Different Levels of Aqueous Extract of Cloves to the Drinking Water of Broiler Chickens (Ross 308) on Blood Biochemical Characteristics and Some Indicators of Oxidative Stress

This study was conducted in the poultry field of the Department of Animal Production College of Agriculture - University of Karbala for a period of 35 days, from 6/10/2022 to 9/11/2022, to demonstrate the effect of the aqueous extract of cloves added to the drinking water of broiler chickens on blood traits. Biochemistry and some indicators of oxidation, where 240 Ross308 broiler chicks were used, one day old, unsexed, and the average weight of the chicks was 40 gm, distributed randomly into 4 treatments and each treatment 3 replicates of 20 chicks "for each replicate, and the aqueous extract was added to the drinking water Since the first day, my agencies: T1: control treatment without addition, T2: adding 10 ml / liter of water, T3: adding 20 ml / liter of water, T4: adding 30 ml / liter of water, and the most important results that we obtained were summarized: A highly significant increase (p≤ 01) in the blood serum glucose concentration of the T4 treatment compared to the control treatment. As for the T3 treatment, it excelled at the level of (p≤ 0.01) in the concentration of total protein, albumin and globulin, as well as cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL, compared to the control treatment. The results showed a highly significant increase (p ≤ 0.01) in the ALT enzyme for the T3 treatment. As for the AST enzyme, its concentration increased in the T2 treatment, which was similar to the control treatment in the significance of this enzyme. In the same results, a highly significant (p ≤ 0.01) superiority was observed in the concentration of GPX enzyme for T4, T3 treatment over T2, T1 treatments. As for the CAT enzyme, its concentration increased at a significant level (p ≤ 0.01) in T3 treatment birds, but it was significantly similar to the control treatment. As for the T4 treatment, it increased significantly in the MDA rate compared to the control treatment
