Abstract

Background and objectives: The importance of stress assessment in ruminants is in maintaining health and increasing their productive capacity. Stress in livestock is characterized by changes in physiological and functional parameters. Long periods of transportation with vehicles, especially in unfavorable weather conditions, or congestion of livestock in trucks are a source of fatigue, discomfort, weight loss and an increased incidence of infectious diseases. Due to this, different stress conditions increase the production of free radicals and thus oxidative stress. Diets containing appropriate levels of Antioxidants, by inhibiting free radicals, resulting in improved harmful effects of stress. Studies have shown that the use of Minerals and Medicinal plants with Antioxidant properties in livestock feeding improves the physiological status of the livestock and prevents decline in production capacity of the animals by modifying prooxidantsAntioxidants. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of mixture of black seed with chromium methionine or zinc methionine on the prevention of stress and livestock performance improvement. Materials and methods: Eighteen Sanjabi male lambs (24-26 weeks of age) with an initial weight of 32 ± 2 kg for 30 days were randomly divided into three groups of six in each and were kept, individually. Treatments were included: group 1: control (basic diet); group 2: basic feed + 30 grams of black seed, kg dry matter of diet + 1 mg chromium-methionine, kg dry matter and group 3: basic feed + 30 grams of black seed, kg dry matter of diet + 50 mg of zinc-methionine, kg dry matter of diet. During the experimental period, performance and blood parameters were evaluated. Lambs were transported after two weeks of starting the experiment for 3 hrs. Blood samples (10 ml) were taken via jugular vein before transportation (BT), immediately after transportation (AT1), as well as 24 hrs after transportation (AT2), to determine blood parameters and Antioxidant status. Blood samples were placed on ice at once after collection and centrifuged at 3500 × g for 15 min at 4° C for serum harvesting. The serum was maintained at-20° C until analysis. Results: The effect of experimental treatments on daily gain was significant (P<0. 05). Feed intake in lambs fed on the diet containing black seed + zinc methionine was higher than other treatments. While in the group receiving black seed + chrome methionine feed conversion ratio improved than the control group (P<0. 05). Stress increased the level of Cortisol in the control group from 0. 44 to 2. 88 μ g/dl immediately after transportation, while this amount was lower in treatments with mixture of black seed and Minerals in comparison to the control group (P< 0. 05). The effect of experimental diets on the amount of urea, total protein and globulin was not significant, whereas, the level of glucose, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase of serum was changed during the period of transportation stress (P<0. 05). Adding black seed + chromium methionine to the diet of lambs had a positive effect on the level of Malondialdehyde (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The results of this experiment showed that the addition of the mixture of black seed and chrome-methionine or zinc methionine as a herbal-mineral supplement to lambs diet two weeks before livestock transportation improved the performance and reduced stress during transportation.
