“…Khattab et al ( 2011 ) explained the enhancement in immunity with NS by their high content of Mg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Se, vitamins E, A, C, and folic acid. In parallel with the current observations, the addition of NS seeds in the diets of sheep and goats increased concentrations of blood TP and globulin either non-significantly (El-Hawy et al, 2018 ) or significantly (Habeeb and El-Tarabany, 2012 ; Mohammed and Al-Suwaiegh, 2023 ). In addition, Yavari et al ( 2021 ) observed significant increases in blood TP, with no significant effect on albumin and globulin when lamb’s diet was supplemented with NS seeds.…”

“…Gholamnezhad et al ( 2015 ) reported immunomodulatory properties for NS seeds via increasing globulin and lymphocyte values (Ahmed et al, 2021 ). Moreover, higher blood immunoglobulin Ig (A, G or M) with NS seeds addition (El-Hawy et al 2018 ; Odhaib et al 2018a ; El-Gindy et al 2020 ), may reflect their immune-stimulatory properties, which can be ascribed to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant effect (Ahmed et al, 2021 ). Also, NS seeds exhibited immunomodulatory effects due to the reduction in oxidative stress as a result of promoting T cells in the animal (Salem, 2005 ).…”

“…Furthermore, Obeidat ( 2020 ) showed improvements in the digestibility and growth performance of Awassi lambs when the diet was supplemented with NS meal. Moreover, NS supplementation either in the form of seeds or meals was observed to enhance animal immunity (Odhaib et al 2018a ; Talebi et al 2021 ; Mohammed and Al-Suwaiegh 2023 ), and decrease levels of total lipids, LDL, cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood (Tousson et al, 2011 and El-Hawy et al, 2018 ).…”

The current study aimed to determine the polyphenol compounds in Nigella sativa (NS) and Eruca sativa (ES) seeds, and evaluate the impact of their addition either as a sole additive or in combination on the growth performance, digestibility, some rumen and blood parameters and antioxidative status of Barki lambs. Forty-eight male lambs (27.18 ± 0.22 kg, 5–6 months), were divided into 4 balanced groups. The experimental diets were randomly distributed to the control group (CON); fed alfalfa hay plus concentrate feed mixture at a ratio of 30:70% without additives, while, NSD, ESD, and NESD groups: fed CON diet plus 2% NS, 2% ES or 1% NS + 1% ES, respectively as a ratio from total mixed ration (TMR). Results indicated that rutin and catechin were the most phenolic compounds observed either in NS or ES seeds. The NS and ES-supplemented groups recorded the highest (P < 0.05) values for dry matter digestibility, nutritive values, average daily gain, and the best feed conversion ratio. However, growth performance, nutritive value, and all nutrient digestibility except for dry matter were not significantly altered with the NESD group. Concentrations of ruminal NH3-N and TVFA were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced with the NESD group, with no significant differences in pH values among different groups. Values of blood parameters showed significant increases in WBCs, PCV, and T-AOC, and decreases in cholesterol, triglycerides, and MDA with the addition of NS and ES seeds or both. Therefore, the addition of NS and ES seeds is recommended to improve lambs’ health and antioxidant status.

“…Serum HDL level was numerically decreased in groups fed NSO as compared to the control animals. This result is in concord with that revealed by (El-Essawy et al, 2019a and2019b), who noted that plasma levels of HDL were not influenced by the addition of EO to the diet in Barki lambs and ewes; however, El-Hawy et al, (2018) noticed that feeding ration containing Nigella sativa meal in Barki ewes led to a significant lessen in HDL level comparing to control. There was a trend (P=0.07) in LDL concentration to be higher in lambs fed on T2 (21.43 mg dl 1 ) compared to the control.…”

“…The result is in accordance with the findings shown by Khattab et al, (2011) who stated no effect (P≥0.05) of the NSO on plasma TP, Alb, and Glo concentrations in buffalo calves. Similarly, Abdullah and Farghaly, (2019) in lamb;and El-Hawy et al, (2018) in Barki ewes, observed that feeding Nigella sativa meal had no significant impact on concentrations of total TP, Glb, and Alb. These results were in contrast with observations of El-Saadany et al, (2008) who reported that Nigella sativa seeds supplementation significantly increased (P<0.05) TP and Glo concentration.…”

To examine the effect of supplementation of varying levels of the oil of Nigella sativa in Karadi lambs rations on nutrients digestibility, blood metabolites, and some rumen parameters, 18 Karadi lambs were allocated into three groups, and the first group was fed a basal diet as control whereas, the second (T2) and the third (T3) groups fed the basal diet being supplemented with 0.15 and 0.30% of DM Nigella sativa oil (NSO) respectively. All animals were fed individually on 1.5 kg/lamb/day. Results showed that dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), organic matter (OM), and crude fiber (CF) digestibility was not affected (P>0.05) by NSO supplementation. Also, supplementing NSO had no significant effect on serum total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), globulin (Glb), triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (Chol), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentrations. There was an increasing trend (P=0.07) in LDL concentration of lambs fed on T2 and T3 as compared to control. Neither treatment nor interaction between time and treatment had an effect on rumen fluid pH. A significant decrease (P=0.008) was noted in rumen fluid pH value with the advances of time post feeding. The ammonia-nitrogen concentration in rumen fluid was generally lower upon oil supplementation, and it was significantly (P=0.03) decreased in the T2 group at 4 hours following morning feeding. It can be concluded that supplementing with 0.15 and 0.3% /DM of NSO showed a reduction in rumen ammonia-nitrogen while it had no effects on nutrient digestibility and blood metabolites in Karadi lambs.

Aim: The present study was conducted to study the effect of propolis administration on bio-hematological parameters, antioxidant enzyme activities, and productivity of Barki ewes during late pregnancy and lactation under the arid conditions. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five pregnant Barki ewes were fed the basal diet (n=12, control) and the basal diet plus propolis (5 g/kg diet, n=13) for 1 month before parturition and continued 2 months after parturition. Milk yield and milk composition, hematological constituents, antioxidant enzyme activities, thyroid hormones, and lambs birth and weaning weights, and antioxidants were determined. Results: Significant (p<0.05) increase in white blood cells in the propolis group compared to control was observed. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (Hb) (MCH) and corpuscular Hb (MCH concentration %) were decreased (p<0.05) in propolis compared to control group. Milk yield was increased (p<0.05) in the propolis group compared with control and continued to increase with the advancement of lactation. Milk fat and milk total solids increased (p<0.05) in the propolis group than the control. Plasma immunoglobulin A (IgA) was increased (p<0.05) in propolis compared to control with no effect in IgM and IgG. Superoxide dismutase, hydrogen peroxide (HP), and nitric oxide were decreased (p<0.01) in the propolis group compared to control. Weaning weight for lambs born to ewes fed propolis was increased (p<0.05) at week 8 after birth compared with control lambs. Malondialdehyde and HP activities were decreased (p<0.01) in lambs born to propolis ewes compared to control. Conclusion: Crude Chinese propolis (5 g/d) supplementation improved milk yield, milk composition, and the antioxidant enzymes in Barki ewes and immune functions, growth performance and antioxidant status in their lambs under arid conditions.
