This study explained Enhancing Fattening Lamb Performance with Spirulina platensis: Insights into Growth, Blood Metabolism, and Antioxidant Status. 20 lambs. (7-8 months old, (45.0±0.5 kg) were randomly divided into two groups, with one group receiving a commercial diet and the second group receiving the same diet but with 1g/10kg B.W/day of Spirulina platensis powder. The lambs were weighed at various points during the 42-day experiment and results showed that Spirulina platensis supplementation improved body weight gain, blood parameters (hemoglobin, white blood cells, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, vitamin A, blood GSH, serum MDA), and reduced blood markers for liver damage (ALT, AST), glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. The results suggest that Spirulina platensis has antioxidant properties and can improve growth performance in lambs.
