Abstract The present study was carried out to evaluate the hematology, serum biochemistry, immune responses and oxidative damage of growing beagles fed a diet supplemented with housefly (Musca domestica) maggot meal (MM). Weanling beagles (initial body weight 2.69 ± 0.17 kg) were fed a control diet (0% MM) or experimental diet (5% MM) for 42 days. The results indicated that the diet supplemented with 5% MM had no significant effects on the hematology and serum biochemistry of growing beagles (P>0.05). Meanwhile, neither the serum concentrations of lysozyme and C-reactive protein nor the serum antibody responses to canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus were influenced by dietary MM supplementation (P>0.05). However, dogs in the experimental group had lower serum levels of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl than those in the control group (P<0.05). These findings demonstrated that MM could be used as an alternative protein source in growing beagles without any adverse effects on hematology, serum biochemistry and immune responses. Furthermore, dietary MM could alleviate oxidative damage in growing beagles.

在生长的比格犬中添加家蝇（家蝇）蛆粉的膳食补充剂：血液学、血清生物化学、免疫反应和氧化损伤

摘要 本研究旨在评估饲喂家蝇（Muscadomesica）蛆粉（MM）的生长小猎犬的血液学、血清生化、免疫反应和氧化损伤。断奶比格犬（初始体重 2.69 ± 0.17 kg）被喂食对照饮食（0% MM）或实验饮食（5% MM）42天。结果表明，日粮添加5%MM对生长比格犬的血液学和血清生化无显着影响（P>0.05）。同时，血清溶菌酶和C反应蛋白浓度以及对犬瘟热病毒和犬细小病毒的血清抗体反应均不受日粮MM添加的影响（P>0.05）。然而，实验组犬血清丙二醛和羰基蛋白含量低于对照组（P<0.05）。这些发现表明，MM 可用作生长比格犬的替代蛋白质来源，而不会对血液学、血清生化和免疫反应产生任何不利影响。此外，膳食 MM 可以减轻生长中的比格犬的氧化损伤。
