Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect ethanolic extract of Punica granatum peel on growth performance, intestinal morphology, antioxidant defense, tissue accumulation and biochemical parameters of blood under cadmium poisoning conditions in Japanese quail in a completely randomized design with ? with ? replicates (?? birds in esch replicate) . The treatments were ?) basal diet,?) Basal dietary + ??ppm cadmium (through drinking water,?. Basal dietary + Ethanolic Extract Pomegranate peel ?.?% + ?? ppm Cadmium (through drinking water),?) Basal dietary + Ethanolic Extract Pomegranate peel ?.?% + ?? ppm Cadmium (through drinking water). At the end of the experiment, the level of cadmium in the muscles was measured by ICP-OES. Serum biochemical factors were measured using the an auto-analyzer. Growth factors were measured weekly and intestinal morphology measured by Histology. The accumulation of cadmium in the muscles of the various groups showed a significant reduction (p
