Preliminary Analysis of Some Biochemical Parameters in Blood Serum of Young Wild Boars (Sus Scrofa L.) from Farms in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Wild boars are present in the country as game freely living in the nature, but in a controlled breeding as well, for the purposes of training hunting dogs. Monitoring the health status of animals is important both from the clinical and epidemiological stand points. Studies of the health status of wildlife in Bosnia and Herzegovina are very rare, and we do not know any earlier information on the study of biochemical parameters of blood of these animals in our country. Our aim was not only to establish starting results but also to affirm similar research. The study was conducted on two farms with 23 and 16 young wild boars. The animals were in good health condition and housed in a controlled, enclosed part of the natural habitat. After fixing and restraint of animals, blood was sampled from V. auricularis magna into vacutainers, without anticoagulant. The serum values of the following biochemical parameters were determined: potassium, sodium, calcium, urea, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase. The differences as regards activities of certain parameters were evidenced among farms as well as in comparison with the results obtained by other authors. These and other studies aiming the protection of game health are important steps toward understanding the pathology and the pathological physiology of these animals. This research may be considered a pioneering step in that direction for Bosnia and Herzegovina and should be continued in order to reach the most credible results with an aim of improving the protection of health of wild but also of the domestic animals and humans.

ÖZET
BOSNA HERSEK ÇİFTLİKLERİNDEKİ GENÇ YABAN DOMUZLARININ (SUS SCROFA L.) KAN SERUMLARINDA BAZI BİYOKİMYASAL PARAMETRELERİN ÖN ANALİZİ
Yaban domuzları, doğada serbestçe yaşayan av olarak kırlarda bulunmakta, ancak kontrollü olarak da av köpeklerinin eğitimi amacı ile yetiştirilmektedir. Hayvanların sağlık durumlarının izlenmesi klinik ve epidemiyolojik noktalardan her ikisi açısından önemlidir. Bosna Hersek'te yaban hayatı sağlık durumlarına ait çalışmalar çok azdır ve biz ülkemizde bu hayvanların kanlarının biyokimyasal parametreleri üzerine yapılmış çalışmalara ait herhangi önceki bir bilgiye sahip değiliz. Amacımız sadece başlangıç sonuçlarını ortaya koymak değil, aynı zamanda benzer çalışmaları da teyit etmek idi. Bu çalışma 23 ve 16 genç yaban domuzu bulunan 2 çiftlikte yapılmıştır. Hayvanlar sağlıklı, iyi kondüsyona sahipti ve doğal habitatlarından ayrılan alanda kontrol altında çiftliklerde bulunuyorlardı. Hayvanların bağlanma ve sabitlenmesi sonrası kan, V. auricularis magna'dan antikoagulan içermeyen tüplere alınarak örneklendi. Aşağıda yer alan biyokimyasal parametrelerin serum değerleri tespit edilmiştir: Potasyum, sodyum, kalsiyum, üre, kreatinin, alanin aminotransferaz ve alkali fosfataz. Belirli parametrelerle ilgili aktivitelerin farklılıkları, çiftliklerin yanısıra diğer yazarlar tarafından elde edilen sonuçlar ile de karşılaştırılarak ortaya konuldu. Yaban hayatını korumayı amaçlayan bu ve diğer çalışmalar, bu hayvanların patolojisi ve patolojik fizyolojisinin anlamaya yönelik önemli aşamalardır. Bu araştırma Bosna Hersek için bu yönde öncü bir aşama olarak kabul edilebilir ve yaban sağlığı yanında evcil hayvan ve insan sağlığının korunması ve geliştirilmesi amacıyla en güvenilir sonuçlara ulaşmak için benzer çalışmaların yapılmasına devam edilmelidir.
