Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bee venom (BV) injection on growth performance of Zaraibi kids up to sexual puberty. Twelve weaned kids (aged 90 days with average body weight 10.50±0.54 kg) were randomly divided into three equal groups (n=4 kids / treatment). The 1st group of kids was fed on basal diet plus injected weekly with 1.0 ml of distilled water without BV and served as a control group (BV0). The 2nd and 3rd treated kids were fed on the same basal diet and injected weekly with 1.0 ml of distilled water added to 250 or 500 mg/ml of BV / kid, representing BV1 or BV2 experimental groups, respectively. All BV0, BV1 and BV2 kids were rearing to estimate growth rate, measurement of scrotal circumference, testes volume, testosterone level through sexual puberty phases and blood parameters. The results showed that groups BV1 or BV2 had significantly higher growth performance than BV0 kids.  Both BV1 and BV2 kids had significantly (P<0.05) higher measurement of scrotal circumference, testes volume and testosterone level through sexual puberty phases compared with BV0 kids. Also, blood parameters had improvement (P<0.05) values for both BV1 or BV2 kids compared to BV0 kids. Furthermore, BV1 and BV2 kids showed a positive effect (P<0.05) on antioxidant parameters while malondialdehyde (MDA) significantly decreased (P<0.05) compared with BV0 kids. In conclusion, BV could be used to enhance growth performance, reducing the times of sexual puberty phases, improving immunological and ant oxidative responses in kids.
