Abstract:

This study was aimed at determining the effect of Yucca Shidigera (YS) extract at the levels of 100 and 200 ppm added to the races of rabbits on some macro and micro-elements levels in the serum. In total, 24 new Zealand rabbits were used in the study. While the control group was fed with the basic ratio, the group I and II ratio were added 100 and 200 ppm YS extract (De-Odorase ) respectively. At the end of a month test period, blood samples were taken and the levels of Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Cl, Fe, Cu and Zn in the serum were measured in the ICP-Mass spectrometer. It was found that the addition of 100 and 200 ppm YS extract did not affect the serum K, P and Cl levels, however, it increased the levels of Mg and Zn. The addition of 200 ppm YS extract to the ratio increases the levels of serum Na, Ca and Fe, while the levels of Cu are reduced. As a result, the involvement of YS extract in the jury of rabbits has led to a change in the serum levels of some macro and micro elements depending on the dose. More research is needed to determine the effects of these changes on other species of animals and the effects of elements on the levels of biodisponibility.
