| description | Hypomagnesaemia was reported as a common clinical problem in calves in Egypt. The present
study was conducted to diagnose hypomagnesemia in calves and evaluate the treatment of diseased
cases by using Mg oxide, Basil &Thyme as food additives. Currently, a total of 1000 female Holstein
dairy calves imported from Europe to the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture- Sakha- Agriculture of
Research Institute aged 7-9 months, out of these calves 450 have nervous manifestations suspected
hypomagnesemia and confirmed by detection of serum magnesium. After symptomatic treatment of
diseased cases, calves were separated and divided into 4 groups each one containing 50 calves; the
apparently healthy group (control) fed on a balanced ration according to NRC, diseased calves fed
on a ration with a high protein diet, treated calves fed on a balanced ration with the addition of Mg
oxide 10gm/animal/day for 2 months and treated calves fed on balanced ration with the addition of
Basil and Thyme 2% (2 kg/100 kg ration) for 2 months. According to the findings, there was a
significant decrease in sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, ionized magnesium, calcium, ionized
calcium, GSH, SOD, TAC, glucose, insulin, cortisol, and PTH levels while, there was an increase
in potassium, liver, and kidney enzymes, CPK, T4, in diseased group comparing with the control
one. Treating diseased animals with magnesium oxide or Basil and Thyme revealed improvement
of minerals, antioxidants, glucose, insulin, cortisol, PTH levels, and a decrease in liver & kidney
enzymes, T4, MDA, & CPK levels within normal range. |
