“…It seems that this characteristic drop of P4 at parturition may be due to the destruction of the corpus luteum of pregnancy as a sequel of luteolysis. In addition, the lactation status significantly effects on decrease of serum P4 level (El-Zahar et al 2017).…”

To monitor blood constituents and hormonal profiles in dromedary she-camels at different physiological statuses in the Northwestern Coast of Egypt, twenty-four she-camels, aged 7-10 years were used from December 2016 to March 2019. Animals were divided according estrous behavior and ultrasound scans of ovarian structures into estrus and non-estrus groups before natural mating. Pregnancy was diagnosed 30 days after mating by ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected from all animals during estrus and non-estrus and monthly during gestation and lactation periods. During the follicular phase GLC and P4 levels decreased (P<0.05). Levels of E2 and PRL increased (P<0.05). Follicles number and diameter in both ovaries increased (P<0.05) in estrus group. Cyclic status correlated negatively with GLC, P4, total number follicles of left ovary (TLO) and diameter follicles of left ovary (DLO) and positively with AST, E2 and DLO. In 1st trimester of pregnancy, GLC levels decreased. Higher (P<0.05) activity of ALT (2nd and 3rd trimesters) and ALP (1st and 2nd trimesters) were recorded. SOD and HP changed (P<0.05). Pregnancy status correlated negatively with GLC, ALP, HP and SOD and positively with TG and ALT. During lactation, ALB, CHOL, TG, ALT, ALP, P4 and PRL were affected (P<0.05). SOD and HP were higher (P<0.05) in 2nd and 1st trimester, respectively. Lactation status correlated negatively with P4 and PRL and positively with CHOL, ALB, ALP, ALT and TAC. In conclusion, the knowledge the values of hormonal, blood biochemical, antioxidant activities are necessary for diagnostic interpretation of pathological and adjusting the different functions throughout different physiological statuses under arid conditions.

Salinity is a worldwide, threatening problem affecting socioeconomic status globally. Saline land comprises salt content in soil, plants, and drinking water. Livestock farming is the worthy option for proper utilization of saline land in a cost-effective approach. Animals reared on this land experience a variety of stresses. Such stresses promote oxidative stress and reduced animal performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative function of vitamin E and selenium (Se) on pregnant/nonpregnant animals reared on the saline environment. A total of 36 multiparous pregnant ( n = 18 ) and nonpregnant ( n = 18 ) goats weighing about 38-45 (average 41.5) kg were equally divided into control and supplemented groups. The experiment lasted from 120 days of gestation to 15 days after parturition for pregnant goats and 0 to 45 days for nonpregnant cyclic goats (>50 days post-kidding). The supplemented group was administered vitamin E (1000 mg/kg BW) and selenium (3 mg/50 kg BW), while the control group was kept on normal saline (0.9% NaCl) with the same route 15 days apart. The blood samples were collected with 15 days apart during the entire experimental period of 45 days and subjected to assessment of enzymatic/nonenzymatic antioxidants, hydrolytic enzymes, oxidants, stress metabolic biomarkers, Se, and progesterone concentration of (pregnant) animals. Results revealed that vitamin E and Se supplementation significantly enhanced the activity of enzymatic (catalase and peroxidase) and nonenzymatic antioxidants such as total phenolic/flavonoid content and vitamin C and increased blood plasma level of Se concentration in comparison with the control group ( P < 0.01 ). Exposure to antioxidant supplementation mitigated lipid peroxidation and enhanced progesterone level and total antioxidant capacity ( P < 0.01 ) as compared to the control group in pregnant goats. Administration of vitamin E and selenium promoted kid survival rate (100%) along with increased initial birth weight, daily average weight gain, and total weight gain in comparison with the control group. Besides, the twinning rate and sex ratio were also recorded in pregnant animals. It is concluded that vitamin E and Se supplementation ameliorated salinity-induced oxidative stress, improved antioxidant status, and enhanced reproductive and growth performance of suckling kids reared on saline land.

أُجريت الدراسة في المنطقة الوسطى من ليبيا لمدة سنة على ثلاث نوق، تم اختيار الحيران الذكور على حسب الولادة. قُيِّم كل من (MCH) و (MCHC) في دم الحيران، وُجد أنها مرتفعة معنويًّا (P<0.05) عما في الأمهات. ارتفع (Hb) و(MCH) لكل من الأمهات والحيران معنويًّا (P<0.05) عند الولادة خلال الفصول. حيث إن فصلي الربيع والصيف كانت (MCH) في الحيران أعلى معنويًّا (P<0.05) من الأمهات. (RBCs) في الصيف كانت أعلى معنويًّا (P<0.05) لدى الأمهات عما للحيران. (Hb) و (MCV) لكليهما كانا أعلى معنويًّا في الخريف (P<0.05) مقارنة بالمواسم الأخرى. خلال فصلي الربيع والصيف كانت (MCHC) في الأمهات أعلى معنويًّا (P<0.05) من الحيران. (PCV) و(MCV) و(MCH) و(MCHC) للأمهات عند الولادة كانت مرتفعة معنويًّا (P<0.05) عما للحيران، ومرتفعة لكليهما خلال الأشهر المختلفة. أعلى قيمة لـ (MCV) للحيوانين خلال الشهر الثامن كانت مرتفعة معنويا (P<0.05) عن قيم الأشهر باستثناء الولادة. أيضا (MCH) للحيران كانت مرتفعة معنويًّا (P<0.05) خلال الشهر الخامس أكثر عما للأمهات. ارتفعت قيمة (MCHC) في الحيران عن النوق من الشهر الخامس حتى نهاية الدراسة. نستنج مما سبق أن الحيران تتأقلم مع البيئة وتواكب الحيوانات البالغة بعد شهرها الخامس.
