Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Cross Sheep Iii-Glucose, Alkaline Phosphatase, Ceruloplasmin, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz Jan 2003

Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Cross Sheep Iii-Glucose, Alkaline Phosphatase, Ceruloplasmin, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A group of 111 sheep raised in the Bandırma Sheep Research Institute were used as living materials for this study. Blood samples from 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. Plasma glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ceruloplasmin levels were determined. Some production traits such as greasy fleece weight, staple length, fiber diameter, ondulance, lamb birth weight, reproduction traits and the live weight gain of lambs were estimated. There were blood glucose differences between the breeds and an important correlation between greasy fleece …


Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Cross Sheep Ii- Hemoglobin And Transferrin Types, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz Jan 2003

Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Cross Sheep Ii- Hemoglobin And Transferrin Types, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

To determine the relationship between biochemical parameters and production traits in sheep, 111 of the animals raised in the Bandırma Sheep Research Institute were used as living materials. The blood samples of 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. Transferrin (Tf) and haemoglobin (Hb) types were determined. Some production traits such as greasy fleece weight, staple length, fiber diameter, ondulance and lamb birth weight were estimated. Important correlations between Hb AB and lamb birth weights (P < 0.05), Hb AB and greasy fleece weight in SBA x Merino crosses (P < 0.05), Hb AB and greasy fleece weight in Border Leicester x Merino crosses (P < 0.05), Tf B type and greasy fleece weight in SBA x Merino and Border Leicester x Merino crosses (P < 0.05) and Tf A type and lamb birth weight in SBA x Merino crosses (P < 0.05) were also determined.


Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Crosses Sheep I- Erythrocyte Potassium And Glutathione, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz Jan 2003

Correlation Between Biochemical Parameters And Production Traits In Merino Crosses Sheep I- Erythrocyte Potassium And Glutathione, Ni̇hat Mert, Handan Gündüz, Vedat Akgündüz, Münevver Akgündüz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

To determine the relationship between biochemical parameters and production traits in sheep, 111 sheep raised in Bandırma Sheep Research Institute were used as living material. Blood samples of 31 Hampshire Down x Merino, 33 Dorset Down x Merino, 27 German Black Headed x Merino and 20 Border Leicester x Merino crosses were taken. The levels and types of blood glutathione (GSH) and erythrocyte potassium (K^+) were determined. Correlations between some production traits such as greasy fleece weight and lamb birth weight were estimated. Statistical significance was found in greasy fleece weight and high glutathione (GSH^H) and low potassium (LK) SBA …
