| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study to investigate the influence in reproductive
status on the serum concentration of biochemical
markers and some macro elements in sera of Akkaraman
Kangal ewes during late pregnancy and early lactation.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Twelve Akkaraman Kangal ewes
were included in this study. The sheep were raised under
pasture conditions and without any dietary complementation.
Samples were taken during late pregnancy and early
lactation from each ewe. Serum concentrations of glucose,
cholesterol, creatinine, triglyceride, alkaline phosphates, total
protein, albumin, very low density lipoprotein, blood urea
nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were determined
with analyzer.<p>
<b>Results:</b> In the ewes during lactation, the concentrations of
alkaline phosphates, albumin and calcium were significantly
higher (P<0.05) compared to the pregnant ewes.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> The study showed that increased alkaline
phosphates, albumin and calcium levels may be induced
mobilization of body reserves because of increasing milk
synthesis in ewes during early lactation period and also without
any dietary complementation. It will be helpful in nutritional
supplements in ewes fed on pasture conditions during
pregnancy and lactation periods. |
