Email this article Biochemical blood parameters of different goat breeds
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of various blood parameters in different goat breeds in Sudan namely Saanen, Kalahari red, Boer, Shami, cross breed and local desert breeds in Sudan. Seventy three clinically healthy goats, aged between 2 and 4 years were included in the study. Data regarding sex, breed, age, posture, type of feed were obtained using a pre- structured questionnaire. Blood samples were obtained from the jugular vein for analysis of different blood parameters namely glucose, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The mean glucose level was 48 mg/dl with significant difference between the study group (p<0.05). The mean concentration of cholesterol was 55.9mg/dl, while for protein the level was 7.04mg/dl, but there was no significant difference between the breeds. A significant difference in the mean between the breeds was found regarding albumin (mean=3.42g/dl), globulin (mean=3.06 g/dl) and urea (mean=34.5mg/dl), while no significant difference regarding creatinine (mean= 0.94 mg/dl) was found. The mean level of alkaline phosphatase was 104.7 IU/L with no significant difference between breeds. Cytochemical studies including glycogen and nucleoprotein was also investigated. The results obtained from this study can give a brief indication of the normal levels of blood parameters regarding the goat breeds and can be a starting point to set a standard reference limits for these animals.
