Abstract:With this study, it was aimed to determine the stress effects that can be caused by transporting and altitude in sheep. Karayaka sheep were used in the study. The live weight of the sheep (n=30) while hungry was determined before transport and sea level. Average live weight was determined as 55.64 ± 4.66 kg. Blood samples were collected just before (sea level) and just after transport (1500 meters above sea level). Transportation distance was approximately 182 km and duration was 5 hours. According to the find… Show more
