Effect of using protected linseed in rations on sheep blood hematology

Objective: Blood is a body fluid that plays role in transporting oxygen, nutrients, metabolic waste, and serves as component of the immune system. Its measurable indices such hematological profile affected by food consumed. This study aimed to examine linseed use complete feed on hematology value sheep blood. Methods: research was conducted at “Mitra Karya Farm” Purworejo Village, Gemolong District, Sragen Regency. There were 15 male Fat-Tailed Sheep crossing 1-1.5 years old with an average weight 22 + 2.04 kg experimental animals. The treatments applied P1: 100% feed, P2: 90% 10% linseed, P3: meal, P4: protected tannin, P5: 97% 3% oil are saponified. A one-way, Completely Randomized Design (CRD) used, blood measured variable, which includes determination erythrocytic series (red cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte index), leukocytes, platelets. Results: results showed treatment had no significant effect red cells index, but platelets value. highest Hb (P<0.05) P3, did not differ from P4, P1, P2, while P5 lowest level. hematocrit this result significantly different P3 P2 produced low hematocrit. leukocytes achieved P4 P3. Leukocytes P1. In contrast, Conclusions: concludes received meal (P3), best hematology.
