| ABSTRACT This experiment was to evaluate the effects of urea molasses mineral block (UMMB) supplementation on subchronic toxicity in indigenous goat kids. Twenty growing goat kids were randomly assigned to receive ad libitum rice straw and berseem hay (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) (40:60). Group I was fed concentrate mixture (0.1 kg/d). Group II was supplemented with UMMB (0.2kg/d). The experiment lasted for 90 days. There was significant (p<0.05) decrease in serum sodium (60.68mEq/L), increase in serum potassium (34.50 mEq/L) and increase in activity of Aspartate aminotransferase (340.42U/L) and Alanine aminotransferase (164.96 U/L) which were observed in kids of group II in comparision to the control (group I). On histopathological examination mild degenerative changes in kidney of group II with congestion in intertubular vessel, granular cytoplasm of the epithelial cells in proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and distal convoluted tubules (DCT), necrosis and swelling of the epithelial cells, congestion of vessels and cloudy swelling was observed in PCT and DCT. Albuminious mass was also present in tubule. On histopathological observation of liver of kids of group II edema in liver parenchyma and proliferation of fibrous tissue in periportal area was observed. | ||
