Abstract

The present study aimed to compare the effects of bee venom (BV) and Oxytetracycline (OXY) supplementation on blood biochemical analysis, antioxidant, immunity status and bacterial count of weaning rabbits. Sixty Californian male rabbits at 35 days of age with average body weight of 589±90 g were randomly divided into five equal groups (12 for each); 1st group (control) was given water (placebo), 2nd group (OXY; 1g/l water), 3rd, 4th, and 5th groups were received BV at (2, 4 and 8 mg/kg body weigh/day, respectively). Results indicated that weaning rabbits treated with OXY and BV had significant increases of total plasma protein (TP) and globulin (Glo) while decreasing AST and ALT, except for OXY group rise of ALT compared to control group. Rabbits treated with OXY or BV had a significantly declined tri-glycerids (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-c), while all treatment records were insignificant for high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c) compared to control group. Groups treated with BV showed increase of IgG, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Group treated with 2 mg BV/kg body weight/day had a decreased total bacterial count (TBC), salmonellae, E. coli, Proteus and Clostridia. Conclusively, it could be recommended  the use levels of BV (2 mg BV/kg body weight/day) to improve the biochemical, immunological and antioxidative responses and decrease pathogenic bacteria in hindgut of weaning rabbits.
