| Abstract | ||
| ABTRACT: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with Lepidium sativum (LS), Moringa oleifera Oils (Mo) and aqueous extract Of Vitex agnnus castys (VACLex) on reproductive hormones, antioxidant, biochemical blood and reproductive performance in female rabbits. Sixty Baladi red does 7- month age, with average body weight of 3250±78.2 g, were used for the present study. Rabbits were randomly divided into six equal treatment groups. The control group (1st group) was fed a basal diet without addition. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th treatments were orally supplemented 3 ml of LS, MO, VACL ex /doe/day and 3 ml of different sources of oil/doe/day combination with 3ml VACLex /doe/day, respectively for eleven consecutive day’s prior insemination. Blood samples were collected through the marginal ear vein from each female rabbit prior insemination. Results are summarized as follows: 1- Concentration of E217β, P4, F.T, LH and FSH hormones were increased for all treatments compared to control. However, the doe rabbits consumed MO recorded highest E217β and P4 concentrations. 2- No statistical differences between groups supplied with VACLex with or without LS or MO on E217β, P4, FT, LH and FSH. 3- Concentration of Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) enzyme for all treated groups supplemented with oils and /or aqueous extract was increased, whereas malonylaldehyde (MAD) enzyme concentration represented a significantly opposite trend. 4- All treated groups supplemented with oils and /or aqueous extract decreased serum triglyceride (TG), TC and low density lipoprotein) LDL) and increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) level. 5- Concentration of TP, ALP and GLO were increased in all treated groups while, concentrations of AST, ALT and GLU were decreased. 6- Showed that all groups of doe rabbits received different oil either separated or combined with VACLex represented significant increase of sexual receptivity, conception rate, gestation length, litter size and body weight at birth in treated groups. Conclusively, theseresults showed that inclusion of LS, MO and VACLex in doe rabbits increases reproductive hormones level and improved antioxidant statusbiochemical blood and reproductive performance (receptivity, conception rate and litter size).
