EFFECT OF MAGNETIZED WELL WATER ON BLOOD COMPONENTS, IMMUNE INDICES AND SEMEN QUALITY OF EGYPTIAN MALE GEESE
The present study was carried out to study the effect of exposing tap water and well water to magnetic fields on blood components, immunity indices and the semen of Egyptian geese. Sixty four one year-old male geese were randomly divided into four equal groups, each made up of four replicates of 4 ganders. The treatments included tap water (TW) as group 1 and well water (WW) as groups 2. The well water was offered with exposure to a magnetic field of 4000 gauss (MWW 4000; group 3) or of 6000 gauss (MWW6000; group 4). During the experiment, the ganders of all groups were kept in an intensive system, with confinement in a house, and fed a commercial mash feed ad libitum. Natural mating was practiced from November 2015 to the end of May 2016. The well water had poor quality. Magnetic treatment improved the quality of the well water, with 6000 gauss having a stronger effect than 4000 gauss. The genders who drank WW showed significantly (p<0.05) poor semen quality, reproductive traits, testosterone hormone besides renal and liver function. Magnetizing the well water improved semen quality, reproductive traits, functions of kidney and liver, antioxidant status and immune response with a more favourable influence of 6000 than 4000 gauss. Thus, magnetizing well water, particularly with 6000 gauss, may offer a possible solution for improving the physiological and immunological traits of geese receiving well water.
