The Effect of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Spirulina Platensis on Glutathione and Leucocytes Count in Rabbits

Glutathione is the important antioxidant agent that is used for body detoxification system. Because of the fact that ıt is crucial for protecting health. A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of natural additives such as live yeast culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) and microalgae Spirulina platensis (SP) on the glutathione and leukocytes counts of rabbits. Forty male New Zealand white rabbits, aged 5-6 weeks, were studied in 4 groups. Treatments were control group, SC (added 3 g/kg diet), SP (added 5% of the diet) and, SC and SP (added 3
