Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidative effect of the sea buckthorn berries (Hippophae rhamnoides) and glucomannan (a mycotoxin binder) against T-2 toxin-induced oxidative stress. The T-2 toxin used was produced by growing Fusarium sporotrichioides and added at one ppm. Sea buckthorn berries were mixed in the feed at 400 and 800 ppm. The glucomannan was added at 1g per kg feed. The T-2 toxin significantly (P < 0.05) increased the lipid peroxidation in the liver and RBCs and catalase in RBCs. A significant (P < 0.05) reduction of GSH in the liver and RBCs was observed in the toxin group. However, the supplementation of sea buckthorn and glucomannan significantly (P < 0.05) restored the T-2 toxin-induced oxidative stress parameters in poultry.
