The objectivity of this study was to investigate some blood minerals and parameters in Honamli
goats reared under semi-intensive conditions. 90 goats (2-4 ages) in different three herds kept under
similar manage mental conditions were chosen as research materials in Teke Border of Antalya
Province. Serum Ca 6.786±0.206 mg/dL, P 4.094±0.173 mg/dL, Cl 111.105±0.582 mmol/L, K
4.519±0.066 mmol/L, Mg 2.161±0.05 mg/dL, Na 148.047±0.508 mmol/L, Fe 110.706±2.510
μg/dL, UIBC 155.025±4.333 μg/dL and Tp 7.055±0.120 g/dL were determined by Roche
Diagnostics, Cobas 8000 modular analyser series, immunoassay. After then, total iron- binding
capacity (TIBC), transferrin (Tf), transferrin saturation (TSAT) and Ca++ levels were calculated
from each other using different biochemical formulas. Ratios between the some minerals were
calculated and presented in the text. Also, very high significant differences (P<0.0001) were found
between herds for P, Cl, TIBC and Tf. However, no significant differences were found for Ca, Na,
TSAT, TP and Ca results. Coefficients of variation (CV) were within 2 % and 35 % for all outcome
parameters. In Pearson correlation analysis, negative and different two significant values (P<0.01
and P<0.001) were calculated between Fe and unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) for all
analysed groups. Controversially, positive and very high significant correlations (P<0.0001) were
detected between Cl and Na. The results obtained from this study could serve as reference values
for Honamli goats breeding in Mediterranean Region of Turkey
