Subject Areas : Journal of Large Animal Clinical Science Research(JLACSR)
Keywords: Sheep, Calcium, Makouie, West azarbijan,
Abstract :
To obtain the normal amount of calcium in blood plasma of makouie breed of shee and evaluates the resistance of this breed considerable decline of this mineral in comparison to other breeds. Makouie sheep can be introduced as a virgin and resistant alpine sheep for breeding in same areas by similar situations. Animals-331 healthy adult makouioe sheep. 147 heads was male and 157 samples were female. Procedure-After a complete physical examination of sheep and ascertaining of health, they sampled. For this sampling vacuum tubes or syringe 20 cc and needle no.18 were used to obtain the blood from superior vena cava. No anti clotting agent was used during sampling. All of samples were numbered and details (age,sex, date of experiment) were recorded. Consequently, samples were transferred to laboratory to centrifuge and detach the cellular section from the serum of blood. In this study quick manual micro calorimetric method was performed. Results-Regarding to six degree of freedom, it was no significant relation between calcium amounts and age (P>0.05). Calcium amount was 9.42(mg/dl). This amount was 8.18(mg/dl) in spring and 7.85(mg/dl) in winter and finally it falls to the lowest point in summer, means: 7.62(mg/dl), (P≤0.05). Additionally, serum ionized calcium amount had no relevance to gender but this amount was more in female in all seasons. Regarding to histogram chart, dispersion of data was normal and average of calcium purity in this breed sheep was:8.29+0.1668(mg/dl). Donkan test, chi-Squre and MSTATC software was used in this investigation.
