“…Bliogon goats with poor body condition in the recent study might be related to lower/restricted feed intake during the dry season in Yogyakarta (April -September). Moreover, this possibility was also considered on the basis of the results of previous studies in cattle and goats which showed that Zn levels in the blood are affected by Zn intake(Patel et al, 2017;2018;Khalil et al, 2019), Zn de ciency often occurs due to undernutrition(Khan et al, 2014), lower Zn status is found in animals with lower feed intake(Faraz et al, 2020), and there is a direct relationship between Zn levels in plasma and in diet(Habeeb et al, 2013).The serum Cu levels of Bligon goat does in this study (0.55 ppm in the IO does and 0.62 ppm in the AO does) were comparable to those of goats in Trinidad of 0.35-0.58 ppm(Mohammed et al, 2017) and goats in Kashmir of 0.55 ± 0.09 ppm (Yatoo et al, 2013), but they were below those of goats in Mexico of 0.69-1.09 ppm (Vázquez-Armijo et al (2011), in Austria of 0.70 ± 0.20 ppm (Schweinzer et al, 2017), Kacang goats in Sumatera of 0.67 ± 0.17 ppm (Khalil et al, 2019), and Saanen goats in Iran of 0.77 ppm (Samimi et al, 2021). This nding indicates that most serum Cu levels of the Bligon goats studied were below the critical serum level of Cu for goats, namely 0.65 ppm as mentioned by McDowel (1985) and cited by Goklaney et al (2018), and the reference value of serum Cu for goats of 0.83-1.08 ppm(Radostits et al, 2007).…”

This study was aimed to investigate the ovarian activity and its association with serum micromineral level in Indonesian Bligon goats. The observations were conducted on non-pregnant Bligon goat does, 2–3 years old, with poor to moderate body condition (Body Condition Score, BCS 1–3 on a scale of 5), reared traditionally, and slaughtered in a slaughterhouse in Yogyakarta Indonesia during the period of April – August (dry season). All animals did not show any gynecological and systemic disease. Before slaughtering, venous blood samples were taken for blood chemistry. After slaughtering, the ovaries were immediately removed for examination of the follicles and the corpus luteum. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in serum were analyzed by Atomic Absorbent Spectrophotometry. There were 9 animals with inactive ovaries (IO). As a control, 16 animals with active ovaries (AO) were observed. The IO animals had serum Zn level of 2.30 ± 1.17 ppm, while AO had a significantly higher one, 3.64 ± 1.68 ppm (p < 0.05). The serum Cu level in the IO was 0.55 ± 0.13 ppm, while the serum Cu level in AO tended to be higher, namely 0.62 ± 0.19 ppm (p > 0.05). The IO had BCS of 1.56 ± 0.39, while the AO had a higher BCS of 2.50 ± 0.58 (p < 0.05). It could be concluded that ovarian inactivity in Bligon goats with poor body condition had a close association with microminerals Cu and Zn metabolism. It is necessary to pay attention to nutritional aspect of this animal to improve its reproductive and productive performance as well as health condition.

“…In our study, Mg and Ca were reduced at M5. Young goats have higher serum Mg and Ca concentrations than adults, as the availability of Mg in ingested food increases Mg utilization for bone mineralization in growing neonates [ 66 ]. Besides, Ca is essential for bone formation, and a high concentration of Ca in the growing period is related to the ability of young goats to keep a high level of vitamin D biosynthesis in the skin, which subsequently increases Ca absorption [ 67 ], in addition to high parathyroid functions and milk intake in the first few months after birth [ 22 ].…”

From a clinical point of view, the establishment of laboratory variables during the first few months of an animal’s life helps clinicians to make sure they base their medical decisions on laboratory values for the specific breed and age group. The present study aimed to investigate the monthly dynamics in some plasma elements, hematology, reproductive hormones, and oxidative stress marker profiles during the first five months of age (neonatal and peri-puberty stage) in male Shiba goat’s kids. Sixteen kids were investigated from the first to the fifth month (M1 to M5), and the data were presented as the statistical difference between them. Whole blood and plasma samples were collected monthly for analysis of basal hematology, plasma elements concentration (trace elements: Cu, Zn, Se, Fe, and Cr; macroelements: Ca and Mg), circulating hormones (cortisol, FSH, LH, IGF1, immunoreactive inhibin, testosterone, T3, and T4), and oxidative stress markers (MDA, CAT, SOD, and GPX). The results showed age-related changes in the observed parameters. The fifth month recorded the lowest level of almost all investigated minerals, except for Cr. Plasma hormone levels revealed age-dependent increases in IGF-1 and testosterone, age-related decreases in T3 and T4, and non-significant changes in cortisol and FSH. Besides, the concentrations of inhibin and LH were significantly higher at M1–M3 compared with M4–M5. Plasma SOD, GPX, and CAT were increased with age. In conclusion, age-related changes and a distinction of age in months was found necessary to interpret the laboratory results, specifically in terms of age in months and the peri-puberty stage in young goats, which are important to follow up the age-specific diseases, reproductive status, and treatment follow-ups in this stage.

“…It was higher than the reference parameter (Jackson and Cockcroft, 2002). It was found in skeletal tissues and played an important role in cellular biological function as co-factor (Chaney, 1997), while its level in serum depended on the magnesium content of forage and the growing stages of sheep and the production of milk in lactating sheep (Mohammed et al, 2017).…”

The study aimed at examining the hematological and biochemical profiles of Wonosobo sheep blood in various physiological conditions. There were 32 Wonosobo sheep in the various physiological conditions, including 17 ewe lamb of 1-2 months of age, 5 pregnant female sheep of 12-48 months of age at 3 months of pregnancy, 5 ewe of 12-48 months of age in second lactation period of 1-2 months and 5 ram of 12-48 months of age. Each of the sheep was put in individual sheepfold and given Pakchong-1 grass, dried kangkong, and concentrate. Drinking water was given ad libitum. Blood sample was drawn from jugular vein and put into tubes for blood hematological and biochemical analyses. The results of the study showed that total leukocyte and lymphocyte were high in young sheep, while neutrophils was high in pregnant female sheep (P<0.05). There was not any significant physiological impact on hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, hematocrit, platelet, monocyte, eusinophil, and basophil (P>0.05). The highest ALP activity and Pi levels were found in the ewe lamb, while low creatinine was found in the ram (P<0.05). The parameter of the activities of SGPT, SGOT, LDH, calcium, kalium, chloride, sodium, magnesium, TIBC, UIBC, TS, globulin, albumin, total protein, BUN, creatinine, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL was not affected by physiological conditions (P>0.05). It was concluded that the impact of the physiological conditions of the Wonosobo sheep caused high total leukocyte and lymphocyte in ewe lamb and high neutrophil in pregnant female sheep, the increase in the Pi level and ALP activity of the ewe lamb, and high creatinine in the ram
