“…Results compared with those of Girgentana goats from Turkey also have noticed no difference for K + and TP between male and female goats though Na + was higher in females as compared to male goats which is in line with the results of present study (Piccione et al, 2010). Extensive studies conducted on the gender-based differences in hematochemical pro le of sheep have globally endorsed that female sheep have a higher demand and hence intake of salt, especially during pregnancy, which leads to higher levels of serum concentration of Na + (Badawi and AL-Hadithy, 2014; Kiran et al, 2012, Soch et al, 2011. Further studies on serum chemistry attributes of sheep during different stages of pregnancy could provide elaborate information on this phenomenon.…”

The present work is the first record of deducing normal reference intervals (RIs) for various serum cardiac biomarkers namely cardiac troponin I (cTnI), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and total protein (TP), and their interrelationship in apparently healthy indigenous Sipli breed of sheep (n = 141) from Pakistan. Apropos to aseptic blood collection and serum extraction, the attributes were deduced using commercially available kits. For the sake of analyses, the studied biomarkers were attributed as independent (Na+, K+, and TP) and dependent (LDH, ALT, AST, cTnI and CK-MB) variables. The RIs were determined through Reference Value Advisor Version 2.1 as per gender and age keeping in view the guidelines provided by American Society of Veterinary Pathology (ASVCP). Results revealed that the RIs for cardiac serum biomarkers included in the present study were generally within the reference range provided for sheep with slight variations which might be attributed to physiological adaptation to harsh desert climate. The Na+ significantly (P ≤ 0.05) predicted AST (adj. r-square = 0.976) and CK-MB (adj. r-square = 0.477). Similarly, K+ significantly (P ≤ 0.05) predicted LDH (adj. r-square = 0.626) and ALT (adj. r-square = 0.897). The TP had highest adjusted r-square of 0.770 with AST however it was statistically non-significant (P ≥ 0.05). The results of the study present a baseline data about these cardiac biomarkers which may be utilized for cardiac assessment of the sheep. It is recommended that the serum cardiac biomarkers ascertained in this study may be studied along with electrophysiology and ultrasonography of sheep heart for confirmed diagnosis/prognosis of cardiomyopathies.

“…Indigenous sheep have lower AST level than other sheep studied till date [ 11 ]. ALT level has been observed higher in our study than West African sheep (10.0±1.1 U/L) [ 16 ] but lower than wild sheep (29.15±3.2 U/L) from Iran [ 17 ]. There is a variation in ALT level among different types of sheep with different geographical distributions.…”

Aim:The study was aimed to determine the reference values of most commonly used hematological and biochemical parameters of indigenous sheep, reared under semi-intensive backyard farms in Dhaka and Chittagong district, Bangladesh.Materials and Methods:A total of 41 blood samples were collected from indigenous sheep (Ovis aries) from June to December 2016 from Dhaka and Chittagong Districts of Bangladesh. Hematological and serum biochemical parameters such as hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total leukocyte count (TLC), neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, monocyte, lymphocyte, urea, triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose, albumin, total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) were determined by biochemical analyzer. 90% reference intervals were calculated for all parameters.Results:The hematologica and serum biochemical profiles of indigenous sheep showed wide range and variation. The results were categorized according to sex and age of the sheep for comparison. Young sheep had significantly higher PCV, eosinophil, triglyceride, and TP level than that of adult (p<0.05), whereas the urea and albumin level was higher in adult than that of juvenile (p<0.05). Most of the values of the parameters are close to each other for both male and female except TEC, urea, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, and AST. However, a significant difference was found only for albumin and basophil level between male and female sheep.Conclusion:Hematological and biochemical parameters in Bangladeshi indigenous sheep showed a wide range and variation implicating future study for the prophylaxis of ovine diseases.

“…Soch et al . [ 20 , 21 ] demonstrate that the reduction of oxygen pressure in highland regions leads to an increased production and release of erythropoietin, thereby stimulating erythropoiesis as a coping or adaptive mechanism to low oxygen levels in such environments. Therefore, the higher Hb and hematocrit values of Ouled Djellal ewes at the altitude of 1000 m a.s.l.…”

Aim:This study was conducted on Ouled Djellal ewes in arid area of south-east Algeria in order to reveal the influence of altitude and landforms on some hematological and biochemical parameters.Materials and Methods:A total of 160 ewes having 3-5 years of age, multiparous, non-pregnant, non-lactating and reared in arid areas of South East Algeria were included. Blood samples were divided according to factors of altitude and landform (plain region at 150 m above sea level, tableland region at 600 m above sea level and mountain region at 1000 m above sea level). The whole blood was analyzed for hematology, and plasma samples for biochemical analysis.Results:The study found lowest glucose concentrations were detected in tableland region at 600 m. In plain region at 150 m, ewes had a higher (p<0.01) concentration of cholesterol and triglyceride. Furthermore, a higher concentration of total proteins (p<0.01) and urea (p<0.05) were detected in plain region at 150 m. The average blood creatinine concentration in mountain ewes at 1000 m and tableland ewes at 600 m were higher (p<0.05) that in plain ewes at 150 m. The highest calcium concentration was found at the altitude of 150 m and the lowest at the altitude of 1000 m (1.12±0.35 mmol/L vs. 0.52±0.03 mmol/L). Phosphorus levels were higher at altitudes of 150 m than at the altitude of 600 m and 1000 m (0.93±0.42 mmol/L vs. 0.68±0.54 mmol/L, 0.23±0.01 mmol/L). The highest hemoglobin concentration and value of hematocrit were detected in mountain ewes at the altitude of 1000 m (120.61 g/L, 40%) and the lowest at the altitude of 150 m (73.2 g/L, 31%) (p<0.001).Conclusion:We concluded that hematological and biochemical parameters in Ouled Djellel ewes reared in arid area may be affected by altitude and landforms.
