Studies on some biochemical markers of Ouled Djellal ewes from semi-arid zone
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of physiological stages and seasons on some blood markers of Ouled Djellal breed from semi-arid zone of east Algeria. The study was conducted on healthy ewes during winter and spring, divided into getationals and lactating females. The concentrations of plasma glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea and creatinine were determined. The levels of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides have not showed any significant difference between gestationals and lactating females during winter as well as during spring. However, urea and creatinine levels showed significant differences between gestational and lactating females in spring. Concerning the seasons, results indicate higher concentrations of cholesterol and creatinine of gestational females as well as urea level of lactating ewes in spring compared to winter. To conclude, the physiological stages has influenced urea and creatinine concentration, while spring has increased cholesterol, creatinine and urea level.
