Effects of Mimosa pudica L. Leaves Extracts on Some Physiological Traits of Broiler Chickens

Abstract

Abstract A total of 150 Ross 308 day-old broiler chicks were brought, and they were unsexed. All the requirements were prepared in advance before introducing the meal. The chicks were distributed randomly into five treatments, with three replications for each treatment, 10 birds for each replicate. The treatments were as follows: T1 (control), T2: (addition of the aqueous extract of Mimosa pudica L. leaves at a rate of 1 ml / liter of drinking water), T3: (addition of the aqueous extract of Mimosa Pudica L. Leaves at a rate of 2 ml / liter of drinking water. T4: (addition of the alcoholic extract of Mimosa pudica L. leaves at a rate of 1 ml / liter of drinking water). T5: (addition of the alcoholic extract of Mimosa pudica L. leaves at a rate of 2 ml / liter of drinking water). Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C), high-density lipoprotein, and liver enzymes (GOT and GPT) were measured. The results indicated that there was a significant decrease in the concentration of the total cholesterol and liver enzymes (GOT and GPT), a significant increase in the level of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein for the addition treatments compared to the control treatments.
