*3.6. Blood Metabolites*

Dietary treatments did not affect (*p* > 0.05) blood metabolites such as glucose, pack cell volume, BUN, total protein, albumin, globulin, the albumin-to-globulin ratio, red blood cells, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, or the RBC distribution width (Table 6). FDPML had a lower BUN concentration and higher blood glucose concentration compared with FDP, FDPM, FDPC, and FDPL.

**Table 6.** Effects of untreated and treated discarded durian peel in TMR on blood metabolites in growing goats.


FDP = untreated discarded durian peel; FDPM = treated discarded durian peel with molasses; FDPC = treated discarded durian peel with cellulase; FDPL = treated discarded durian peel with *L. casei* TH14; FDPML = treated discarded durian peel with molasses and *L. casei* TH14; SEM = standard error of the mean; Glu = glucose; PCV = pack cell volume; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; TP = total protein; ALB = albumin; GLB = globulin; A/G ratio = albumin-to-globulin ratio; RBC = red blood cell; Hb = hemoglobin; MCV = mean corpuscular volume; MCHC = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW = RBC distribution width.
