| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was aimed to compare some hematological and biochemical
variables in Kangal Akkaraman, Texel, and Île de France sheep breeds in the
lactation period in Sivas province.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of 120 ewe from three breeds (Kangal Akkaraman
= 40, Texel = 40, Île de France = 40) who were clinically healthy nonpregnant
and lactating (40-60 days) were used in the study. Hematological and
biochemical variables analysis were performed using automatic cell counting
and autoanalyzer devices.<p>
<b>Results: </b>There was no significant difference in WBC, Hb, MCHC, MPV levels
between ewe breeds (p>0.05). RBC value was higher in Kangal Akkaraman
than others (p<0.05). PCV values were higher in Kangal Akkaraman and Texel
than Île de France (p<0.05). MCV and MCH values were lower in Kangal
Akkaraman and Île de France compared to Texel (p<0.05). Although the PLT
and RDW values were higher in Kangal Akkaraman (p<0.05), the PDW value
was lower than others (p<0.05). Serum glucose level was lower in Texel than
others (p<0.01). Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, AST, ALT, albumin/globulin
ratio, and Mg levels were not different between ewes (p>0.05). Serum
total protein, albumin, globulin, and P levels were higher in Kangal Akkaraman
compared to others (p<0.05). However, serum Ca levels were lower in Kangal
Akkaraman than others (p<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>These results can constitute a reference value in these three sheep
breeds reared in Sivas province, and help form a basis for future research. |
