Effect of yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae)‎ supported by selenium and zinc on lipid profile of local sheep males

Abstract EN

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) supported withzinc and selenium on the lipid profile.

of Twenty-one Iraqi males sheep were used aged (1 -1.5)years and the weight mean approximately (38±4) kg.

experiment animals used divided randomlyinto three treated groups each group have 7 males.

All males were fed on the same ration.

Thefirst group was considered as a control group without treatment (T1), the second group (T2) weregiven yeast enriched with zinc (Saccharomyces cerevisiae -zinc) with dosage (0.2 g/kg/bw), thethird group (3) was given yeast enriched with selenium (Saccharomyces cerevisiae-selenium)with dosage (0.03 g/kg/bw).

The results showed significant (P≤0.05) differences control groupcompare with the other two-treated groups (T3 and T2) in triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and HDL.

The results indicate to significant differences (P≤0.05) of (T2 and T3) compare with the controlgroup by HDL.

From the results concluded that there synergistic effect of Saccharomycescerevisiae with zinc and selenium as organic form (Saccharomyces cerevisiae-zinc/selenium)could be attributed to improved animal health.
