Determination The Levels of Some Biochemical Parameters in Female Hair Goats in Cukurova Region

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the average value of some biochemical parameters of hair goats that are widely cultivated in Turkey.For this purpose, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), urea (BUN), creatine (Cr), albumin (Alb), total protein (TP) and total bilirubin (T.Bil) measurements were made in peripheral blood which are collected from 133 healthy female hair goats. As a result of this study, some serum biochemistry parameters of female hair goats were determined for the first time and, the values obtained from the study were measured via IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program. It was revealed that there were differences between them and other goat breeds. It was also observed that some values may change due to altitude differences. The data obtained as the result of this study is important in terms of providing resources for the studies to be performed on hair goats. Besides, for the first time, it has been shown that altitude has an effect on some blood parameters in hair goats and it should be considered in future studies.

Evaluation of Some Clinical, Hematological and Biochemical Parameters in Healthy Gurcu Bucks and Does

“…We think that changes in blood parameters may occur as a result of the effect of hormonal balance changing depending on the gender. Er and Ok (2020) reported that some blood parameters may be affecting by environmental factors such as altitude. Kaneko et al (2008) have been demonstrated that some hematological parameters such as red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, and hematocrit percentage can be affected by altitude and environmental factors.…”

“…As mentioned in the literature, different concentrations of total protein and albumin may originate from the breed properties (Bhargava 1980, Iriadam 2004, Kaneko et al 2008). Er and Ok (2020) have been determined the average creatine concentration as 0.56 mg/dL and the urea nitrogen concentration as 24.23 mg/dL in healthy goats. In our study, these values were 0.66 mg/dL and 25.92 mg/dL for creatinine and urea nitrogen respectively and it was similar to the values reported by Jackson and Cockcroft (2002).…”

“…Accordingly, the effects of different factors such as the breed and gender on blood values were investigated in the goats (Tanrıtanır et al 2010, Piccione et al 2012, Piccione et al 2014, Balamurugan et al 2015, Barwary et al 2016, Madan et al 2016, Gürgöze and Gökalp 2018. Some blood parameters may give different results between goat breeds, and this may be due to other factors such as environment and altitude (Er and Ok 2020). Hematological evaluations of Gurcu bucks and does were not found in the literature searches.…”
