“…However, such correlations were not found between the mineral levels in sheep and in soil except for Na (0.75), Fe (0.91), Mn (0.97), and Zn (0.94). The findings under this study are opposite to those reported by Wang [11], who re ported that no correlations were found between soil, herbage, and blood of sheep in Huangcheng area of Qilian Mountains. Under this current study, regression of minerals in soils and herbage revealed positive linear relationships; however, the correlation values are too small except for Ca, P, Na, Fe, Mn, and Zn.…”

Objective: Minerals are one of the important nutrients for supporting the growth of sheep grazing in the highland, northwest of China. The experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship of both macro and micro minerals in sheep grazing in the highlands of six districts located in the Qilian Mountain of China. Methods: Samples of herbage (n = 240) and soil (n = 240) were collected at random in a "W" shape across the area designated for harvesting from 24 farms, where the sheep commonly graze in October (winter) for mineral analyses. In addition, serum samples were taken via jugular vein from 20 sheep per farm from 24 farms (n = 480 samples in total) for serum mine rals analyses. Mean values of macro and micro minerals were statistically compared among districts and the correlations among soilplantanimal were statistically analyzed and cor relations were regressed, as well. Results: The results revealed that there were variations for both macro and micro minerals among districts. Statistical analysis of the correlation coefficients between herbage and sheep were significantly different for most of the minerals but not for P, Cu, and Se. Many correlation regression coefficients were found significantly different among minerals of herbage, soil, and sheep serum especially those of K, Na, Fe, Mn, and Zn (between herbage and sheep serum), and Fe and Mn (between herbage and soil), Na, Fe, Mn, and Zn (between soil and sheep serum), respectively. The regression coefficient equations derived under this experiment for prediction of Ca (R 2 = 0.618), K (R 2 = 0.803), Mg (R 2 = 0.767), Na (R 2 = 0.670), Fe (R 2 = 0.865), Zn (R 2 = 0.950), Mn (R 2 = 0.936), and Se (R 2 = 0.630), resulted in significant R 2 values. Conclusion: It is inferred that the winter herbage minerals in all the districts were below the recommended levels for macro minerals which indicated there would be some mineral de ficiencies in sheep grazing the herbage in these regions. Supplemental minerals may therefore play an important role in balancing the minerals available from the herbage in winter and would lead to increased productivity in sheep on the highland areas of China. These findings could be potentially applied to the other regions for improving the livestock productivity.

“…In a research conducted in a mountainous region in China on healthy sheep serum, the levels of Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn elements were found as (0.2, 0.2, 7.0, 1.9µg/ mL), respectively (Wang, 2014). Furthermore, in studies in which the sheep samples were used by many researchers (Miedico et al, 2016), the serum Cu levels were determined as 0.8 and 1.2 g/mL, and the Zn levels as 6.9 and 14.8 µg/ mL.…”

This study has aimed to investigate the differences between the levels of trace elements in sheep with the diagnosis of ecthyma, and in healthy sheep. For this purpose, Be,Bi,Pb,Cd,Na,K,Ca,Mg,Fe,Cu,Zn,Se,Ni and Mn,Co,Cr,Li elements in the plasma of sheep with Contagious ecthyma detected with PCR and in sheep in the control group were analyzed with ICP-OES.In this study, the levels of Fe,Cu,Zn,Se and Pb trace elements were found to be statistically different between the sheep infected with parapoxvirus.The Na element of the macro elements was observed to be statistically different in sheep with ecthyma, to the control group(P<0.05).When there are low levels of metal concentration in sheep with ecthyma, their immune system can be considered to be weakened.Further studies can be carried out on the increase in the risk of developing the disease as a result of, in particular, a decrease in the Fe,Cu,Zn and Se concentrations in sheep infected with the virus.

“…After that the samples were digested using microwave digestion system (MARS5, CEM Company, America). The optimal digestion procedure was described in our previous publication (Wang et al, 2014a). The digested samples were cooled to room temperature, transferred to glass tube, and removed the diacid mixture until 1mL was left using intelligent temperature controller in 130°C.…”
