INVESTIGATION OF SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN BULGARIAN LOCAL GOATS DURING THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD
Keywords:
goats, biochemical parameters, postpartum periodAbstract
The aim of the present study was to determine levels of some biochemical parameters in Bulgarian local goats in the
postpartum period. The study was carried out on 6 Bulgarian local goats aged between 2 and 5 years old, weighing between
48 and 56 kg. The experimental animals housed in the Production Animal Farm of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Trakia
University, Stara Zagora.
The preparation of the blood was carried out by v. jugularis externa. Blood samples was obtained at days 1, 3, 6, 9, 12,
15, 20 and 30 postpartum. The studied biochemical parameters included calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, glucose, total
protein, albumin, amylase, chloride, urea, creatinine, cholesterol and triglycerides. Samples were made by automatic biochemical analyzer BS 120 (Mindray, China).
Calcium levels in the postpartum period ranged from 2.3±0.23 mmol/l and 2.68±0.17 mmol/l, during the whole study
period were within the normal reference values. The values of phosphorus and magnesium showed no abnormalities during
the study.
In first days of the the puerperium, the obtained values of blood glucose were between 2.35±0.44 mmol/l and 2.75±0.31
mmol/l, while after day 20 of puerperium, levels were significantly higher (P<0.05). In the used in our study goats, mean
values of total protein were within 61.01±1.88 g/l on the postpartum day 1 as reliably (P<0.05) increase in this parameter
was observed on the 6th and 20th postpartum days.
Our results with respect to urea and creatinine showed differences in individual measurements, but the levels were within
the normal reference values. Cholesterol levels in the blood ranged between 1.46 mmol/l and 1.78 mmol/l, while triglycerides respectively of 0.09 mmol/l to 0.21 mmol/l.
The survey presents the dynamics of some biochemical parameters in the blood serum of Bulgarian local goat breed in
the postpartum period. These results could be used in practice to control the metabolic status of animals in the puerperium.
