KARADENİZ ZİRVESİ 3. ULUSLARARASI UYGULAMALI BİLİMLER KONGRESİ, Ordu, Türkiye, 25 - 26 Nisan 2020
The biochemical parameters in the blood vary according to age, gender, race, physiological
status and geographical region. In this study, glutathione (GSH), ceruloplasmin (SER), total
lipid, calcium (Ca) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels in the blood samples belonging to three
different sheep breeds in Bandırma Sheep Research Farm were investigated. In the study, 49
Kıvırcık, 49 Gökçeada and 10 Sakız sheep were used in the study. When the mean values
between races were analyzed, GSH level was highest in Gökçeada race (19.03 ± 6.54 mg/dl)
(p≤0.05) The amount of ceruloplasmin was found statistically significantly higher in Kıvırcık
sheep (22.10 ± 9.57 mg / dl) compared to other breeds. No significant differences were found
between races in total protein, total lipid and Ca levels (p≥0.05). Pi levels were determined to
be slightly higher (4.23 ± 1.40 mg/dl)in Kıvırcık sheep compared to other sheep breeds and
statistical significance was determined. According to these results, the serum metabolic
parameters belonging to three different races were not found to be significant, while the
polymorphic parameters such as GSH and SER were different among races. In these races, the
productive features such as meat, milk, wool and body weight gains and relationships between
these parameters should be examined.
