The gossypol toxicity and associated gossypol-iron complex formationin the intestine lead to changes in hematological characteristics and alternation of sperm motility in monogastricanimals. Male Wistar albino rats weighing 60 to 70 g were divided into four groups of five animals each. The groupfed the standard diet (STD) served as control, and the experimental groups included the group (i) rats fed cottonseeddiet (CSD) supplemented at 10% of cottonseed level (ii) rats fed conventional aqueous extracted cottonseed milk(CCM) diet (CAD) and (iii) rats fed enzymatic assisted aqueous extracted cottonseed milk (ECM) diet (EAD). The CADand EAD feed was administrated @ 1 ml/100 g of animal body weight /day for the study period of 45 days among theexperimental groups and control group. A significant difference in weight gain of the experimental rats was noticedbetween the CCM and ECM cottonseed milk extracts fed experimental groups compared with the standard and cottonseed fed groups. The rats fed with CSD, CCM and ECM diet exhibited higher white blood cell counts, also reducingthe red blood cells count, hemoglobin hematocrit and platelet in the group compared with STD. No significantdifference in semen motility characteristics was noticed among the CSD, CCM and ECM fed groups. In conclusion, theintake of less than the permissible level of gossypol from selected cottonseed and its aqueous extracted milk sampleshas influenced the hematological parameters and whereas an improved effect was shown in semen characteristics.展开更多
