“…The concentrations of the total proteins and globulin ( Table 7 ) in the blood of the lambs increased with advanced age. As the age increases, the concentration of total protein in the blood of sheep increases [ 47 , 56 ]. The high total protein content after birth can be a result of serum immunoglobulin content growth, and this demonstrates good alimentary canal absorption and has some effect on later clinical state [ 57 ].…”

The aim of this research was to investigate the slaughter indicators, carcass measures, and meat quality of lambs fattened with spelt. Lambs consumed various feed mixtures (1000 g day−1 lamb−1): I—control group; II—group with 10% dehulled spelt; III—group with 20% dehulled spelt. In the blood, the concentrations of minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron), biochemical parameters (urea, glucose, total proteins, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, ß-hydroxybutyrate, non-esterified fatty acids, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase), and hepatic enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and creatine kinase) were determined. After slaughter, carcass development was measured. Samples of musculus semimembranosus were taken, of which the physical properties were analyzed. By analyzing the production properties of the lambs, we found that the slaughter characteristics of the lamb carcasses and the physical properties of the lamb meat as well as most biochemical indicators and enzymes did not significantly differ. The concentrations of albumin were increased in the groups with 10% and 20% spelt, as was the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the group with 20% spelt. The presented results indicate that spelt is an appropriate ingredient in the diet for weaned lambs.

“…Feeding has a signifi-cant influence to the urea concentrations in the serum of ewes and lambs (Holcombe et The concentrations of the total proteins and albumin in the blood serum of the lambs have been increased with the advanced age. As the age rises, the concentration of total protein in the blood of sheep increases (Bornez et al, 2009;San Sampelayo et al, 1998). The high total protein content after birth can be a result of serum immunoglobulin content growth and this demonstrates good alimentary canal absorption and has some effect on later clinical state (Baranowski et al, 2000).…”

The influence of age on changes of some blood parameters has been researched within the blood serum of lambs during the suckling (30 th day) and fattening period (70 th day). Lambs were raised in the organic way. Significantly decreased concentration of calcium (2.78 and 2.67 mmol/l), inorganic phosphorus (3.53 and 3.10 mmol/l), triglyceride (0.43 and 0.28 mmol/l), total cholesterol (1.67 and 1.04 mmol/l), HDL and LDL-cholesterol (1.10 and 0.73 mmol/l; 0.37 and 0.19 mmol/l) as well as increased concentration of sodium (149.43 and 152.14 mmol/l), urea (6.89 and 8.66 mmol/l), total proteins (56.41 and 59.76 g/l), albumins (29.91 and 31.11 g/l) and ALT -alanine aminotransferase activity (9.14 and 12.14 U/l) were determined in the blood of lambs by increasing age. With increasing the age of the lamb the number of WBC (leucocytes) and RBC (red blood cell) as well as the content of haemoglobin and haematocrite in blood, significantly increased higher content of platelets and MCV as well as lower content of MCH and MCHC were found in the blood of older lambs in comparison with the youngest lambs. The results of some blood metabolites in the lamb organic production indicate that the age must be taken as a very important factor in determining metabolic profile of blood.

“…Depending on the voluntary feed intake established in each case, not different growth rates were obtained, giving rise to a body composition that was temperature dependent for the lambs and independent for the kids. In order to clarify the particular metabolic behaviour of these animals under the described experimental conditions, the blood levels of certain metabolites, glucose, free fatty acids, insulin, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), substances that are specially involved in the maintenance of the thermal and energetic homeostasis of the preruminant animal (7,19), were obtained and analysed.…”

The purpose of this study was to establish the metabolic behaviour of both preruminant kid goats and lambs, when they are kept at different environmental temperatures (12, 24 and 30 degrees C). The animals were fed ad libitum with a milk replacer for the first two months of life. Blood samples were taken from all the animals on days 30, 40, 50 and 60 post partum, to determine serum levels of glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), both when fasting and 4 hours after starting feeding. The high sensitivity of both kinds of animal to the lowest of the environmental temperatures used, particularly for the first periods of life here considered, was established from the glucose/insulin and T3/T4 molar ratios and from the concentrations of free fatty acids. The results obtained by species were also evidence of metabolic behaviour typical of leanner animals in kids.
