English Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the sufficiency of Vitamin E and Selenium Supplementation to Diets against containing aflatoxins on the relative organ weights and various structural blood parameters.

One hundred and twenty unsexed Ross birds were used from 3 to 7 weeks of age.

Birds were randomly distributed and subjected to five nutrition treatments as follows: (T1.

Control Group: 0.0 AF + 0.0 Se +0.0 Vit.

E, T2.

2.5 mg AF/kg diet, T3.

2.5 mg AF /kg diet + 0.18mg/kg Se +10 I.U Vit.

E, T4.

2.5 mg AF/kg diet + 0.32mg/kg Se +30 I.U Vit.

E, T5.

2.5mg AF /kg diet + 0.50mg/kg Se +50 I.U Vit.

E) pollution by aflatoxins causes a significant increase in relative weights of liver, heart, gizzard, abdomen fat, and spleen.

A significant decrease in total body and carcass weight gastrointestinal tract long.

Moreover existence of aflatoxins caused a significant decrease in values of Packed cell volume (PCV), Red blood cells counts (RBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) significantly moreover, it has been noticed a significant increase occurrence in values of total white blood cell (WBC) and ration of Heterophills to lymphocytes in second treatment birds influenced by Aflatoxins.

The addition of graded levels of Vit.

E and Se to the AF containing diets (T4, T5) improvement total body and carcass weight and internal organs studied.

The addition of both Vit.

E and Selenium (T3, T4, T5) to the provender containing by aflatoxins, had no effects on blood parameters to their natural averages at control group.

The existence of the two Vit.

E and Selenium in polluted provender doesn't prevent a decrease in these values with a significant improvement (up to 10 I.U Vit.

E and 0.18mg/kg Se) occurrence from birds group values which had been fed by polluted provender only.
