Abstract |
This study was carried
out on clinically healthy male and female Akkaraman Kangal sheep (n=40
each gender). Serum glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin,
cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total bilirubin,
aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT),
alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triglyceride, gamma glutamyltransferase
(GGT) and some minerals like calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium
(Mg) were determined. No
statistical difference was found in the concentration of glucose, ALP,
GGT, cholesterol, ALT and albumin. A significant relationship was found
between male and female in terms of creatinine, total bilirubin, AST,
triglycerides, total protein, globulin, Ca, P and Mg levels. The present
information may provide a baseline data for future research and
diagnosis of certain diseases in Akkaraman sheep.
