VARIATION IN SERUM LIPIDS AND MINERALS DETERMINED DURING DIFFERENT PRODUCTIVE PERIODS IN FASTED GOATS
Abstract
Experimental ketosis was studied in a total of 70 female Murciano-Granadina goats divided into two groups: a control group of 30 animals and a treatment group of 40. Five blood samples were taken from each animal at the following intervals: a month before parturition, during parturition, and 30, 60, and 90 days postparturition. The animals from the treatment group were deprived of solid foodstuffs for five days before blood sampling. The following parameters were assessed in semm: cholesterol, triglycerides, total lipids, calcium, inorganic phosphate and magnesium. The mean values for cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids in semm were significantly higher in the ketotic group. Differences in calcium, inorganic phosphate and magnesium were statistically significant between groups with lower mean values for these three parameters in ketotic animalsDownloads
