BIOCHEMICAL ENERGY AND HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE OF SHEEP SUPPLEMENTED WITH SOY MOLASSES

Soy molasses is a by-product of the soy industry, with low commercial cost and rich in carbohydrates proteins. Despite great variety by-products being potentially beneÞ cial, it not fully understood how interaction between nutrients this product physiological changes sheep occurs. Thus, objective was to evaluate effects supplementation levels on energy metabolites hematological parameters sheep. The treatments consisted 0, 3, 6, 9, 12% inclusion dry matter basis for basal diet corn silage, which met nutritional needs maintenance, distributed 5 × Latin square design. evaluated were: cholesterol, triglycerides, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), fructosamine. red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrits, platelets, addition leukocytes, rods, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes. Supplementation did signiÞ cantly alter (P> 0.05) serum concentrations VLDL, There no cant difference cell, hematocrit, platelet receiving 0.05), may indicate that level sufÞ cient meet animals, without damage. Leukocyte, rod, neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte, lymphocyte change sheep’s diet, indicating absence intoxication, diseases, infections. It can be concluded does maintenance.
