AB - The aim of this study was to investigate the
way Pea Seeds (PS) can affect some blood metabolites
and rumen parameters in lambs being fattened through
consumption of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) hay (SH).
The main nutrient source in the groups was SH. The SH
was partially replaced by PS in two of three groups of
animals. About 24 16 week-old Norduz female lambs
(31.72±2.47 kg) were divided into three groups and fed
their diets. SH and PS were available in the diets in the
following SH:PS ratios (on a body weight basis): 3:0 in
the first (control) group (C), 2:1 in the second group (PI)
and 1:2 in the third group. The diets of the groups were of
different nutritional content. The animals were split
randomly between the three groups (C, PI and PII). The
research was completed in 25 days and the animals were
fed twice a day over this period. Blood and rumen liquid
samples were taken twice: one pre-trial (B) and the other
post-trial (A). Blood Triglyceride (TG), Cholesterol (CH),
Creatinine (CR), Direct Bilirubin (DB) and potassium
values and increases in Live Weight (LW) of the animals
were not found to be significant due to the dietary
treatment. However, Protozoa Numbers (PN), Total blood
Protein (TP), Albumin (AL), Urea (UR), Globulin (GL),
Chlorine (Cl) and sodium (N) values and the rumen NH
level increased significantly by the end of the trial
(p<0.05).
