Arginase (L-arginine amidino hydrolase E.C. 3.5.3.1) is an enzyme catalyzing the last stage of the Krebs-Henseleit cycle and, thus, converting arginine into urea and ornithine. Arginase also plays a part in protein and polyamine synthesis and is affected by hormones in terms of metabolic status. In the present study, erythrocyte, saliva, and serum arginase activity together with serum urea and estrogen levels were examined in Akkaraman and Ivesi sheep in pregnancy and postpartum. Comparisons were then made between the species. In pregnancy the urea level in saliva increased. However, the urea level in serum decreased. No clear difference was observed …

In this study 57 cows at the puerperal stage (between 15-45 days) and at early pregnancy period (between 8-58 days) were subjected to clinical and Ultrasonography check at 10-day intervals. On the 8 th day of post insemination (p.ins.) areas of nidation ranging from 0,5-1,5 cm were established by means of US (n=53) and on 40 animals (70,2%) the development of these areas were followed until the 58th day of pregnancy. In the other 13 cows (22,8%), begining from early embriyonic featal deaths (18) days and late embriyonic featal deaths (28 days) were established ultrasonographycally. 4 animals (7,0%) that no …
