Effect of feeding on a diet containing varying amounts of Rhaponticum carthamoides hay meal on selected morphological parameters in rats
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Effects of diet meal containing 10, 20, 30 and 50% of Rhaponticum carthamoides hay meal on the increase of body weight, growth and development of selected internal organs and behaviour of animals were examined. The 10% diet, which is preferable from both health and economical viewpoints, stimulated the growth of testes, while the body growth curve was similar to that of animals fed on a conventional diet. The diet with 20% Rhaponticum resulted in high variability of the weight of testes. Effects of tested diets on the body weight and food consumption were different in males and females.
