Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of dietary supplementation of grape seeds powder on growth performance, antioxidant status and carcass characteristics of rabbits under high ambient temperature of Borg-El Arab, Alexandria Governorate. A total number of forty eight weaned New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits at 6 weeks of age were randomly assigned to four experimental groups in a complete randomized design. The 1stgroup was served as a control group. The 2nd, 3rdand 4th groups were received daily pelleted diet supplemented with 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% grape seeds powder (GSP), respectively. Results obtained showed that rabbits received 1.0% of GSP had the heaviest (P<0.05) final body weight (2435.83 g) and average daily weight gain (29.88 g/rabbit/day). While rabbits received 1.5% of GSP consumed less (P<0.05) feed (87.99 g/rabbit/day) and showed the best (P<0.05) value of feed conversion (3.27 g feed/g gain) when compared to the other groups. The highest (P<0.05) carcass weights and kidney fat percentage were recorded with rabbits group received 1.0% GSP. Plasma total protein and globulin values were significantly (P<0.05) increased with the increase of GSP level used in the diet, while plasma total lipids and ALT values were significantly (P<0.05) lower in rabbits group received dietary 1.5% GSP than the other rabbit groups. Total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase were gradually (P<0.05) elevated with increasing GSP level in the diet. In addition, there was an improvement of the economical efficiency of diets contained 0.5, 1, 1.5% GSP compared to the control one and the best economical efficiency and relative economical efficiency values were recorded with rabbits group fed 1.5% GSP.
Conclusively, it could be concluded that dietary supplementation of grape seeds powder at 0.5, 1, 1.5% levels improved growth performance and increased the resistance of rabbits against oxidative stress by modulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes underhot conditions, Moreover, 1.5% GSP dietary supplementation was more effective than other levels.
