“…Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity was at much higher level than previously reported Hassim et al ( 2006 ) ad Khodaei Motlagh and Masoumi ( 2016 ). However, Durgun et al ( 2005 ) and Samour et al ( 2011 ) reported similar values of AST enzyme activity to ours. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity has a wide range in several species of birds (Thrall et al 2004 ).…”

To determine the effect of different dietary energy and protein levels on bodyweight and blood chemistry, 36 ostriches at 2 to 9 weeks of age for feeding conditions and 18 for blood chemistry parameters was used. The birds were divided into six treatment groups. Energy and protein levels of diet were 2400 and 2600 kcal/kg and 20%, 22%, and 24%, respectively. The feed intake and bodyweight gain were determined a weekly. Blood chemical parameters including glucose, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate amino-transferase and alanine amino-transferase activity were determined. The highest weight gain during the whole experiment was observed in ostriches offered 2400 kcal · kg−1 dietary energy and 20% protein. The lowest level of total cholesterol and protein was observed in treatment V (2600 kcal · kg−1 dietary energy and 22% protein). The lowest level of glucose and triglycerides was noted after treatment I. The highest albumin and globulin concentrations were in treatment III (2400 kcal · kg−1 dietary energy and 24% protein) and treatment II (2400 kcal · kg−1 dietary energy and 22% protein), respectively. The energy level had no effect (P < 0.05) on feed intake and weight gain in all experimental period. The results of this study showed that with increasing energy and protein levels, most blood parameters increased in ostriches but total cholesterol did not.

“…( 2015 ) also reported similar results; total cholesterol concentration was higher for ostriches fed lower energy diet. Cholesterol concentrations in our study were higher than reported in previous studies (Durgun et al 2005 ; Samour et al 2011 ; Khodaei Motlagh and Masoumi 2016 ).…”

“…In most of the analysed species (72.2%), adult individuals were reported to have a significantly higher haemoglobin concentration in comparison to juveniles. Only one study on captive Masai ostriches ( Struthio camelus ) investigated changes in haemoglobin concentration throughout the entire first year of life ( Samour et al , 2011 ). The authors demonstrated that the haemoglobin concentration initially decreased slightly, but from the third month of life it started to increase at a constant rate until the age of at least 1 year, with the total increase being ∼40% ( Samour et al , 2011 ).…”

“…This accords with earlier observations, which showed that total protein values increased with age in male ostriches until 24-36 months [26] . Total protein values also tend to increase with age in emus, masai ostriches, and broilers [27] . The protein content of the feed may raise total proteins in ostriches.…”

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the canola oil on the some metabolites ostriches. In order to study the metabolic profile of ostriches in relation to diet, Six blue-neck male ostriches (Struthio camelus) were fed omega-3 resource (canola oil =3%) throughout a 60-day experiment. Blood samples were collected from ostriches on days 0 and 60 of the experiment to measure levels of total serum protein, albumin, total immunoglobulin, cholesterol, the activity of ASP, ALT, insulin and glucose. The results showed that from days 0 to 60 of the experiment, glucose and total protein levels increased significantly (P<0.05). whereas total immunoglobulins insulin, albumin, ALT and AST did not change. Keywords: Ostrich, Omega-3 resource, Glucose, Total protein Devekuşlarında Omega 3 Kaynağının Glukoz ve Total Protein Üzerine Etkisi ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı devekuşlarında kanola yağının bazı metabolic değerler üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Diyetle ilişkili olarak devekuşlarında metabolik değerleri araştırmak amacıyla altı adet Mavi-boyunlu devekuşu (Struthio camelus) 60 günlük çalışma periyodu süresince omega-3 kaynağı (%3'lük kanola yağı) ile beslendi. Devekuşlarından çalışmanın 0 ve 60. günlerinde total serum protein, albümin, total immunglobulin, kolesterol, ASP, ALT, insülin ve glukoz seviyelerini tespit etmek amacıyla kan örnekleri alındı. Çalışmanın sonuçları 0. ile 60. günler arasında glukoz ve total protein seviyelerinin arttığını (P<0.05) buna karşın total immunglobulin, insülin, albümin, ALT ve AST seviyelerinin ise değişmediğini ortaya koymuştur.
