ABSTRACT
Sabet Sarvestani S, Rezvani
MR, Zamiri MJ,
Shekarforoush SS, Nazifi
S, Shamsaei HA, Atashi H, Mosleh N., Effects of dietary nano-copper
oxide and mannan oligosaccharide on blood serum
globulins and tissue and fecal copper concentrations in broilers, Onl J Vet Res., 18(7): 554-562, 2014. The effects of 100 mg/kg nano-copper
oxide (NCu), 1 g/kg mannan
oligosaccharide (MOS) on serum albumin,
globulin, liver, kidney and scapular muscle tissue and fecal copper
levels in groups of broiler chicks is described. Controls were
fed basal diet without supplementations. Compared with controls, MOS supplement increased serum alpha- and gamma- globulins. Liver,
kidney and scapular muscle copper concentrations were not affected by any diet.
Fecal copper increased in NCu-supplemented broilers
but in those also given MOS, declined.
Keywords: Nano-copper, Mannan oligosaccharide,
Globulin, Broilers, Fecal copper.
