The physiological effects of administering different concentrations of Shilajit to Awassi lambs and their impact on productive trait and blood parameters and some biochemical measurements

Hanan Waleed Kasim Agwaan.


Abstract
Background:
Shilajit exists as a natural resin that contains fulvic and humic acids that provide antioxidant benefits and stress relief. The compounds help animals survive hot temperatures because they enable animals to preserve their metabolic equilibrium.

Aim:
The research project aims to study Shilajit effects on physiological responses and its impact on haematological and biochemical parameters and lamb growth development at two different dosage levels of 50 and 100 mg/kg BW.

Methods:
We separated 18 4-month-old female Awassi lambs into three groups. One group did not receive any Shilajit, whilst the other two groups received either 50 mg/kg BW or 100 mg/kg BW. Each group was given a specific diet and a daily dosage of Shilajit. We collected blood samples each month from June to August and looked at their health indicators.

Results:
Shilajit has been demonstrated to increase bodies use of food and aid in weight management. For optimal results, take 100 mg/ kg BW Shilajit seems to lower cortisol levels and boost growth and thyroid hormones. Furthermore, it aids in the production of haemoglobin, haematocrit, and red and white blood cells. Also, increases in glucose, protein, hepatic enzymes, and cholesterol, alongside marked reductions in oxidative stress.

Conclusion:
The research shows that Shilajit supplementation at 100 mg/kg BW to Awassi lambs during summer months leads to better growth results and improved resistance against stress, which makes this natural substance a useful tool for farmers to boost their livestock production and health outcomes.

Key words: Biochemical; Hematological; Parameters; Sheep; Shilajit.
