Effect of Plant Growth Hormone (Biogro) on Behavior and Serum Biochemistry of Wistar Rat
(CRIN, 2021) Adebiyi, O. E.; Dixon, H. G.; Fayinminu, O. O.
With the purpose of studying data on spontaneous customary changes in wistar rats and effect of Blogro (B18 fertilizer) on organ enzymes (serum biochemistry), we administered food laced with dried okra treated with the biogro. This study was carried out at three different places which are the animal experimental house, water hyacinth, National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT) Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, the Clinical pathology laboratory, University of Ibadan, Nigeria and the histopathology laboratory at the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. A total of 32 wistar rats were used for the experiment, with the rats divided into eight groups. Four rats occupy a unit/cell of the cage, making it eight treatments replicated four times. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized design (CRD) and data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The biogro treatments (treated on okra plants) were administered daily as it was included in the feed given for five days (acute toxicity test). On the termination of the experiment, all the rats were observed not to have any behavioral changes as they all appear and were normally behaved, and sacrificed, blood samples were taken for analysis. At the end of the experiment, it was observed that the treatment had no significant effect on the blood parameter AST = Aspertate amino transferase, TB = Total bilirubin, EO= Eosine, ALP = Alkaline Phosphate, ALT= Alanine amino transferase, TP = Total protein, ALB Albumin, GLB = Globulin.
