| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was aimed to observe the effect of iodine and cyanocobaloamin
effect on meat production as well as meat quality in beef cattle. The study was conducted
under the department of Physiology and Pharmacolgy, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science
and Technology University. At around 2 years of age, twenty bulls were randomly divided
into 4 group s (A, B, C and D) and each group remains 5 bulls. group A was treated with IV
injection of lugol’s iodine @10mg/kg b. wt, group B was treated with Cyanocobalamine
(Vitamin B12) 2ml/bull, group C was treated with lugol’s iodine 10mg /kg body weight and
cyanocobalamine 2ml/bull and group D was kept for control. During period of trial body
weights were recorded on 1 day before treatment staring day (0 day), 30th, 60th and 90th day.
Over the course of the trial, observations were recorded for weight gain and after slaughtering
observed the meat qualities Such as meat pH, presence of cyanocobalamin in meat, meat
colour and meat odour. Gaining weight was increased in all treated group s in respect to the
control group and highest was recorded in combine treatment of iodine and cyanocobalamine
supplemented group (group C). No significant (p>0.05) differences were observed among the
treatment group s in case of pH value, odour and colour of meat in respect to the control
group after treatment. The present study reveals that combine iodine and cyanocobalamine in
beef cattle supplemented group (group C) has given better result over other group s in
respect to increase body weight and meat quality without making any health hazard of
indigenous beef cattle. | en_US |
