| Abstract | ||
| A total of one hundred and forty Muscovy ducks (one day old) were used for 12 weeks to study the effect of adding freshly onion and /or garlic to ration on blood, tissue constituents and also on growth performance parameters. Addition of on- ion and/or garlic lead to a significant increase in the level of serum total protein and albumin be- tween groups while there is a significant decrease in serum cholesterol, total lipids, triglycerides, glucose and low density lipoprotein (LDL) while there is a non significant changes in level of serum high density lipoprotein(HDL). Also there is a reduction in tissue cholesterol (breast and thigh muscles) between groups. At the same time, it was observed that addition of fresh garlic plus on- ion in different ratios improved growth performance (body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion). | ||
