Effect of using two types of local mineral mud (mohammed –torhan and Kirkuk) instead of activated sodium bentonite upon the haematological and biochemical parameters for female quails fed diet contaminated with aflatoxin

Abstract
Two hundred and twenty four Japanse quail females ( 42 days old ) were randomly fed control diet and with thirteen diets contained two levels ( 0.4 and 0.8% ) of each local mineral muds: M – T, K and A. S. B with or without 2.0mg of AF/kg diet for 8 weeks. The statistical analysis showed significant decrease ( P ≤ 0.05 ) the value of the haematological and serum biochemical parameters and some blood enzymes activity ( GOT, GPT and ALP ) of the quail females fed diet contaminated with 2.0mg of AF/kg diet. The addition of the natural adsorbents ( M–T,K and A. B. S ) led to significant correct the abnormality of the haematological, serum biochemical parameters and activity of some blood enzymes except the value of MCHC by addiding 0.8% of M – T or K, mud noted there were no significant differences between the efficiency the three kinds of natural muds used in this study.
