Comparison of Some Blood Parameters in female Romanov and Hamdani Sheep Housed under The Same Nutritional Conditions

Abstract

The present study was conducted to compare some blood parameters of adult (2-3 years old) female Romanov and Hamdani sheep breeds subjected to the same climate and feeding conditions. For this purpose, blood samples were taken from 20 clinically healthy adult Romanov and 20 Hamdani sheep. Serum glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, total protein, gamma glutamyl transferase, urea, alanine aminotransferase, high-density lipoprotein, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, magnesium, c-reactive protein, creatinine, cholesterol and iron levels were examined. While statistically significant differences were determined in serum glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, gamma glutamyl transferase, urea, lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, creatinine and iron levels in Romanov and Hamdani breed sheep (p0.05). As a result, it is thought that these data obtained from Romanov and Hamdani sheep breeds can be considered as reference values and will contribute to a better understanding of the metabolic and physiological characteristics of these breeds.
