“…The data suggested that there was non-significant alteration in the level of sodium between early, mid and late lactation. Sodium (Na) level observed in different experimental groups of Kutchi camels in this study was in agreement with those results reported by Singh et al (2015) in camels and Novotny et al (2016) in sows. Similarly, Akhtar et al (2010) also reported non-significant change in sodium level during pregnancy and early lactation in Nili-Ravi buffaloes.…”

“…Potassium is required for a variety of body functions including maintenance of osmotic balance, acid-base equilibrium and water balance as well as in several enzyme systems (Osman and Al-Busadah, 2003). This holds good in the current study also as non-significant change of potassium was observed in early, mid and late lactation in the current study and were found to be in agreement with Kholif (1999) in buffaloes, Sivaraman et al (2002) in jersey crossbred cows and Singh et al (2015) in camels. Similar trend was recorded by Akhtar et al (2010), they reported non-significant change in potassium level during pregnancy and early lactation in Nili-Ravi buffaloes.…”

“…Among the groups studied, serum calcium level appeared to be significantly (p < 0.05) decreased with the advancement of lactation stages. The calcium level recorded in different experimental groups was comparable with the values recorded by Kuria et al (2013) and Singh et al (2015) in camels. The continuous decrease of calcium level in subsequent lactation might be due to drainage of blood calcium in milk and insufficient adjustment by the parathormone through mobilization of bone calcium (Paul et al, 2011).…”

“…It is well defined that, the kidney regulates the buffering capacity of bone and also the magnesium excretion (Vorman, 2003). Considering the fact, the level of magnesium (Mg) recorded in current study was found almost stable in different stages of lactation and appeared as par with the observations of Hussein et al (1992) in camels, Kumar et al (2001) in buffaloes, Hagawane et al (2009) in buffaloes, Khaled and Illek (2012) in Barky Ewes, Naser et al (2014) in dairy cows, Singh et al (2015) in camels and Novotny et al(2016) in sows. However, the results obtained in the present study did not confirm the observation made by Kholif (1999) in camels, Piccione et al (2012) in Holstein Friesian cow and Kuria et al (2013) in camels.…”

| The present study was undertaken to determine the baseline values of some important serum macrominerals in clinically healthy lactating Kutchi camels during different stages of lactation. The study was carried out on 30 clinically healthy female camels (Camelus dromedarius) from the herd maintained at Camel breeding farm, Dhori (Kutch) and categorized broadly into three groups comprising ten animals in each group: animals in early lactation in Group-I, animals in mid-lactation in Group-II and animals in late lactation in Group-III. The blood samples were collected from each experimental animal and analyzed for serum macro-mineral profile. The results shown that, level of serum calcium was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased from early lactation to late lactation. However, non-significant (p > 0.05) alteration in serum inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium were observed during different stages of lactation. The findings may be useful to set basal level of macro-minerals of Kutchi camels during different phases of lactation.

“…CAT and GSH, exhausted earlier than the raise in levels of blood lipid peroxidation i.e. MDA (Singh et al 2013 ). Abdel-Rahman et al ( 2017 ) reported significant decline in serum concentrations of TAC and GSH in the third trimester than others, hence, their prepartum levels were relatively lower than those at 15 days postpartum.…”

Dramatic metabolic changes during pregnancy and post-partum period resulted in alteration of the biochemical parameters in dromedary she-camels. The current study focused on assessment of stress indicators in post-partum dromedary she-camels on days 14, 28 and 42 post-calving through monitoring the clinical findings, serum steroid hormones, serum or milk oxidant/antioxidant indicators, and milk somatic cell count (SCC) status with reference to serum lipid profile changes. The study also stated several correlations between reproductive cyclicity parameters, stress biomarkers and serum-milk oxidant/antioxidant indicators. The study was conducted on clinically healthy recently calved she-camels (n = 25). They were subjected to clinical and laboratory assays including lipid profiles, serum steroid hormones [Progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2)], serum or milk oxidant/antioxidant biomarkers [Malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and cortisol], and milk SCC on days 14, 21 and 28 post-calving. The study concluded the influence of stress as a result of lactation in post-partum period in recently calved she-camels and its relationship with reproductive cyclicity as well as changes in serum steroids, lipid profiles, serum-milk oxidant/antioxidants parameters, and milk SCC that was reflected through significant elevations in serum levels of P4, E2, cortisol, MDA and glucose, and milk values of MDA, cortisol and SCC as well as significant drop in serum levels of GSH, TPs, albumins and globulins on day 14 post-calving comparing with their values particularly on day 42. The study stated variable correlation relationships between reproductive cyclicity parameters, lipid profiles, serum-milk oxidant/antioxidants parameters and milk SCC.
