“…In another study, 29 SAA levels increased after the first day until the 7th day of life. In our study, serum SAA levels, but not Hp levels, showed significant age‐related changes from birth to 28 days of age, which was in agreement with the results of previous studies in neonatal calves, 7 goat kids, 23 and lambs 29,30 (Figure 1A,B).…”

“…The RI of the SAA concentrations detected in this study (Table 1) differed from the 0‐2 μg/mL RI found in the study by Lepherd et al 14 These differences could be associated with physiologic, morphologic, and behavioral features of the neonatal period. Similar to our results (Figure 1A), Samimi 30 reported that the mean SAA concentration was 12.15 μg/mL at birth and increased gradually until 24 hours of age (13.93 μg/mL) and 48 hours of age (17.06 μg/mL) in lambs. Since the APPs were evaluated from birth to 2 days of age, the results of that study do not reflect the kinetics of SAA during the neonatal period.…”

“…Only a few reports define APP values in neonatal lambs, and, in these studies, the sample sizes (n = 10) were small 29 or the evaluation times during neonatal periods were limited 30 . Lepherd et al 14 detected the RIs for SAA, Hp, and Fb concentrations in weaned, 9‐ to 16‐week‐old female Merino lambs using the same methodology as in our study.…”

Background: Acute-phase proteins (APPs) are considered biomarkers for diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment and health status monitoring. Reference intervals (RIs) are an integral part of diagnostic laboratory testing and clinical decision-making. The RIs for neonatal lambs are lacking. Objective: This study aimed to determine the RIs of serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), ceruloplasmin (Cp), and fibrinogen (Fb) concentrations in neonatal crossbred Kivircik lambs. Methods: The study consisted of 42 neonatal cross-bred Kivircik lambs. Physical examinations were performed daily, and blood samples were collected at 0 (precolostrum), 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of age. The RIs of SAA, Hp, Cp, and Fb concentrations were calculated according to the recommendation of the American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology. Results were also evaluated for age-and sex-related effects. Results: The RI for serum Hp was 0-0.4 g/L, and no apparent effect of age or sex was noted. Because of significant age-and sex-related differences, the SAA (0.34-55.12 µg/mL), Cp (2.4-26.07 mg/mL), and Fb (218.86-527.82 mg/mL) results were given as minimum and maximum values. Serum SAA on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days of life, and Cp and Fb concentrations on the 14th and 21st days of life, were significantly higher than those on other study days. Conclusions: This study is the first to establish RIs for neonatal lambs, and the values obtained could be useful for making clinical decisions regarding cross-bred Kivircik lambs during this critical period.

“…Agreeing with the current study, a number of studies reported a decrease in respiratory rate, postnatal. Although, different reports exist as to when the decrease in respiratory rate is recorded, most studies indicated a decrease before the fifth week after birth (Mortola 1984;Piccione et al 2007;Samimi 2019;Arfuso et al 2021). A marked decrease in respiratory rate compared with the day of birth was observed on the second day in kids (Fazio et al 2016), Day 24 in kids and lambs (Samimi 2019) and fifth week in lambs (Piccione et al 2007).…”

Neonatal adjustments in respiratory and pulse rates in tropical breeds of buck-kids and doelings

Background The transition to pulmonary respiration and the termination of foetal cardiovascular shunts is expected to commence immediately after birth. Subsequently, alveolar ventilation and tissue perfusion must be established, despite the challenge of extra-uterine environmental conditions, which could be quite demanding, even to the adult animals. The current study evaluated neonatal adjustment and diurnally induced changes in respiratory and pulse rates in kids of Red Sokoto, Sahel and West African Dwarf (WAD) goats in a tropical climate. Results Morning and afternoon respiratory rates started decreasing (P < 0.05) in the second week of birth. The pulse rate in the morning hours rose (P < 0.05) on Day 1 with no significant fluctuation subsequently, while the pattern in the afternoon hours showed a progressive decrease (P < 0.05) after birth. Apart from the day of birth, respiratory rate on other days increased significantly from morning to afternoon hours. The afternoon pulse rate was higher (P < 0.05) on the day of birth, but lower (P < 0.05) on Day 2 as compared to the morning values; and no diurnal difference was observed in subsequent days. The WAD goats had significantly higher respiratory and pulse rates than Red Sokoto and Sahel kids, especially in the afternoon hours. Similarly, the values were higher (P < 0.05) in doelings than buck-kids during the morning hours. The correlation between respiratory and pulse rates was positive (P < 0.05) and the strength of the association increased with age. Conclusion It was concluded that the afternoon rise in ambient temperature induced the establishment of a clear diurnal variation in respiratory rate 24 h postnatal, while the diurnal variation in pulse rate was weak and irregular. The tropical climate may be quite challenging to the attainment of physiological stability in respiratory and cardiovascular functions of neonatal goat kids, especially during the hot season.
