Abstract :
In the study the effects of Taraxacum officinale L. and Hypericum scabrum L. extract added to ration on some biochemical parameters in heat-stressed broilers. Atotal of 96 broiler chicks were used in this study. 1. Group: Control group was fed with unsupplemented basal diets; 2. Group: TOE group was supplemented T. officinale L. extract % 0,1 3. Group: HSE group was supplemented H. scabrum L. extract ekstraktı % 0,1, 4. Group: Stress group (S) was exposed to heat 38-39°C stress for a period of 15 days, 5. Group: Stress+TOE (STOE) was exposed to heat 38-39°C stress for a period of 15 days + T. officinale L.extract % 0,1 6. Gorup: Stress+HSE (SHSE) ) was exposed to heat 38-39°C stress for a period of 15 days + H. scabrum L.extract % 0,1. The experimental period lasted 45 days. Plant extract was supplemented to TOE, HSE, STOE and SHSE from 8th day after broilers were provided its adaptation for 7 days. Broilers were exposed to heat 38-39°C S, STOE and SHSE groups from the 15th to 30th days. Plasma ALT, AST, GLU, MDA, cortisol and liver MDA were increased, plasma TP, Chol, TG, HDL-C, liver SOD,GSH and catalase were decreased, plasma LDL-C was no difference in S group compared with control group. Plasma The resultsdemonstrated that TOE and HSE were protective effect on liver and decreased blood glucose; HSE was affected on positive effects on chollesterol level in broiler. As a result, the plant extract is demonstrated that, with the addition of broiler diets, it might have positive effects on animal health, though the negative effects of heat stress.
