“…The result of the blood chemistry obtained is shown in Table 2 or Figure 1.The blood chemistry revealed significant difference (P<0.05) in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol but not significantly different (P>0.05) in triglycerides (TG) levels among dietary treatments. This is at variance with the reports of Horton et al [20] and Anassori et al [21] that garlic had no effects on plasma cholesterol and triglycerides concentration in sheep. The values obtained in the study for total cholesterol; diet 1 (74.99±6.77mg/dl) (4.162mmol/l); diet 2 (65.95±5.12mg/dl) (3.66mmol/l); diet 3 (65.57±6.8mg/dl) (3.634mmol/l); diet 4 (58.29±16.96mg/dl) (3.234mmol/l) were higher than the values of cholesterol in Yankasa ram (2.5mmol/l), Ouda ram (2.5mmol/l) and Balami ram (3.5mmol/l) reported by Njidda et al; [22] but diet 5( 39.8±8.22mg/dl) (2.209mm/dl) was lower than the values reported in the literature.…”

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of supplementing ruminant diets with garlic powder as source of natural feed additives on blood chemistry in sheep. Forty West African Dwarf (WAD) rams with average live weight of 12.41±0.3kg, aged1-2 years were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments with eight animals per treatment in a Completely Randomized Design. The garlic powder was supplemented at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% in a formulated diet. Feeding trials lasted for a period of twelve weeks after four weeks period of acclimatization to the experimental pen. The effect of the dietary treatments on blood chemistry revealed significant difference (P<0.05) in high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol but no significant different in triglycerides (TG) levels among dietary treatments. It is evident that garlic powder can be supplemented up to 8% without any side effect on biochemical indices of West Africa Dwarf (WAD) ram.

“…In the current study, no difference was observed in T‐CHO, HDL‐CHO, LDL, and NEFA, indicating that GP up to 0.5% of concentrate has no effect on lipid metabolism in rams. These results are in agreement with the findings reported by Horton et al , who demonstrated that GP supplementation had no influence on plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels in sheep and swine. Obviously, no changes in the protein of blood, including total protein and albumin, were observed, indicating that GP up to 0.5% of concentrate is not sufficient to alter the protein indices of blood.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing a basal diet (CTR) with raw garlic (GAR) or garlic oil (GAO) on blood profile in sheep. Monensin (MON, 33 mg/kg DM) was used as positive control. Four ruminally fistulated rams were used in three experiments each arranged in a 4 × 4 Latin square design with 28-day periods. Experiments 1 and 2 differed in the dose of GAR (75 vs. 100 g/kg DM) and GAO (500 vs. 750 mg/kg DM), while experiment 3 was designed to compare the two doses of each additive (GAR and GAO). The animals were fed a basal diet as TMR consisting of 77.83% forage (alfalfa hay and corn silage) and 22.17% concentrate, providing 10.50 MJ/kg DM (metabolizable energy) and 16.5% crude protein to cover maintenance energy and protein requirements. Supplementation of monensin decreased (P < 0.05) β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations in the blood compared with other treatments. There was no significant effect of additives on serum concentration of glucose, total triglycerides, cholesterol, total protein, albumin and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Although the serum insulin concentration was elevated in sheep receiving MON and GAO (P < 0.01), no change was observed in blood glucose concentration. No significant effect of GAO and GAR was observed in key energy and protein-related blood metabolites. However, administration of monensin had a positive influence on energy indices. In conclusion, whereas parameters characterizing the energy balance did not show a significant effect of GAR supplementation, a higher insulin concentration in GAO-treated animals was observed.
