“…Despite some researchers suggested that there was a correlation between plasma urea level and dietary protein level in sheep (Lindberg and Jacobbsson, 1990;Waghorn et al, 1990), Kronfeld et al (1982) suggested the opposite. This finding was in agreement with those obtained by Shalu et al (1992Shalu et al ( , 1993, Katunguka (1997) and Hatfield et al (1998). It was reported that normal blood glucose level in sheep was between 44.0-81.2 mg/dL.…”

In this study, 45 weaned Kivircik male lambs with an average initial body weight ŠBW¹ of 26.23 kg were randomly assigned to five experimental groups (G10, G12, G14, G16, G18) fed 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 % crude protein (CP), respectively. It was observed that G16 had higher BW than the first three groups (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences between G16 and G18. G16 had higher daily body weight gain ŠBWG¹ than other groups. During the study, when compared with first three groups, G16 had significantly higher BWG (p<0.05), but no significant difference was observed between G16 and G18. The lowest DMI was observed in G10 (p<0.05), however, there were no differences between G14, G16 and G18. The best and the lowest feed efficiency were observed in G16 and G10, respectively. When the analysis results of faeces samples were compared, the lowest nitrogen (N) excretion was detected in G10 and G12, and the highest N excretion was detected in G18 (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between G14 and G16. Percentages of N digestibility's of G16 and G18 were higher than those of other groups (p<0.05). There were no significant differences between G16 and G18, and between G10, G12 and G14. The analysis results of serum samples obtained from experimental groups showed that, except for serum urea and albumin levels, there were no significant differences between the level of other metabolites. G10 had lowest serum albumin level (p<0.05), and there were no significant differences between the other groups. Serum urea levels of G14, G16, G18 were similar and higher than those of G10 and G12 (p<0.05). The lowest serum urea level was determined in G10 (p<0.05). Consequently, when it was considered that feeding Kivircik lambs with higher protein level than 16 % had no advantage for performance and would be cause of economic loss, it can be said that 16 % CP was optimal

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of age and breed on the hematological parameters and blood biochemistry of domestic sheep and goats (male) under winter cold . Healthy animals were chosen (n = 10 each breed) reared under the local breeding conditions during cold winter, a season characterized with a relatively low pasture. Animals were divided into four groups, rams group (3.5±0.55 years), male lambs group (6 month old), and bucks group (5±0.75 years), male kids [9 to10 month]. Blood samples were collected in January when the pasture level was at its minimum. The Results presents an overview of hematological parameters and factors affecting their values. Results of hematological parameters showed significant (P<0.05) differences between breed of animals. On the other hand, the kids group had significantly (P<0.05) lesser packed cell volume PCV% than the bucks group, while other parameters were similar.But ,the white blood cell count (WBC) was significantly higher in the goat groups and the result of buck group was best than kids group. The values obtained for serum total protein was significantly lower (P<0.05) for rams and buck groups, while the values obtained for serum urea concentration was significantly (P<0.05) higher for rams and buck groups. In conclusion this study has reported hematological and serum biochemical values which could serve as baseline information for comparison in conditions of nutrient deficiency, physiological and health status of local male sheep and goats.
