Abstract

The southeastern of Iraq especially Basrah city is characterized as humid subtropical and is subject to extended periods of high ambient temperature and relative humidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of providing supplementary nickel chloride orally to adult rabbits under heat stress for two weeks. The results revealed significant decrease in B.W and total protein while blood glucose increased, liver enzymes (ALT, AST and ALP) showed significant increase.lipid profile also showed increase in cholesterol, TG, LDL and decrease in HDL).

The study concluded that the stresses after exposure to high environmental heat had a negative effects on growth and Liver tissue functions as well as lipid profile.
