Blood cholesterol and glucose levels of sheep after being given feed supplemented with Pluchea indica leaf flour
Downloads
Sheep are a type of livestock commonly consumed by the population. Lamb meat is high in cholesterol, which leads to hypercholesterolemia in individuals who consume it. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of Pluchea indica administration on cholesterol and blood glucose levels in sheep. A total of 15 sheep were divided into 4 different treatment groups. The groups were categorized according to the concentration of P. indica flour in the concentrate, specifically 0%, 2%, 4%, and 8%. The animals underwent 35-day meal therapy. The findings indicated that the inclusion of 4% P. indica flour in the concentrate resulted in a significant reduction in blood cholesterol levels in sheep (p <0.05). There was no significant difference in glucose levels between the groups (p> 0.05). The study concluded that the addition of 4% P. indica flour to the concentrate is the most effective formulation for reducing blood cholesterol levels.
