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

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate some hematological parameters in healthy Gurcu bucks and female Gurcu goats. The number of studies in this area is very low. In the study, healthy, 2-4 years old, 15 male and 15 female animals were used. From the animals in the study, 10 mL blood samples were taken with the help of holder from vena jugularis and transferred to K3EDTA and gel tubes. Complete blood count was measured in a complete blood count device within 30 minutes. Total leukocyte (WBC) was determined as 11.95 x10 3 /µL in females and 8.18 x10 3 /µL in males. Hemoglobin was measured as an average of 7.32 g/dL in females and 8.75 (g/dL) in males. The total protein concentration was determined as an average of 7.40 g/dL in females, 7.26 g/dL in males and a total average of 7.33 g/dL. In addition, the total average concentrations of creatinine, urea nitrogen, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and glucose, respectively; 0.66 mg/dL, 25.92 mg/dL, 2.56 g/dL, 8.62 mg/dL, 4.37 mg/dL, 2.77 mEq/L and 47.04 mg/dL. As a result, some blood parameters of healthy Gurcu bucks and does that are traditionally pasture feeding were determined and reference values were obtained with this study.
