Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) as an antioxidant and its ability to prevent the effect of H2O2-induced oxidative stress and its reflections on blood parameters and antioxidant status of male quail. 120 local male quail on 21 days aged were randomly distributed according to complete randomized design into 4 groups and reared until 56 days age as follows: Control group, H2O2 group (tap water with 0.5% H2O2), Ginger group (1000 mg ginger/kg ration), H2O2 with Ginger group (1000 mg ginger/kg ration and tap water with 0.5% H2O2). Results revealed that the H2O2 induced oxidative stress retracted the blood parameters and serum antioxidant status (decrease glutathione 1.10 µmol/l and increase malondialdehyde 1.79 nmol/ml), while the ginger enhanced the blood parameters and serum antioxidants status (elevation glutathione 2.92 µmol/l and decline in malondialdehyde 0.41 nmol/ml) compared to the control group (1.58 µmol/l, 0.74 nmol/ml respectively). In conclusion, ginger prevented the oxidative stress effects and returned most of the biochemical values to normal values as in the control group.
