Effect of Sex on Some Biochemical and Hematological Parameters in Healthy Boer x Hair Goat Crossbreed

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine some hematological and biochemical parameters in male and female Boer x hair goat crossbreed (n=34). Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein in sample tubes with and without anticoagulants. A Mindray BC2800 fully-automated device was used to measure the WBC, RBC, Hgb, Hct, MCV, and MCH values and ADVIA 1800 brand auto-analyzer was used to obtain Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca, Crea, Tp, Alb, Gluo, Chol, Trig, AST, ALT, and ALP values. WBC (p<0.01), RBC (p<0.05), HCT (p<0.01) and MCV (p<0.05) levels were found to be statistically higher in female specimens, while HGB and MCH levels were found to be statistically identical for both sexes. Meanwhile, males had statistically higher levels of K (p <0.001) and Mg (p<0.01) levels compared to females. Crea (p<0.001), Tp (p <0.05), Alb (p<0.05), Gluo (p<0.001) levels were also statistically higher in males, while Chol level was statistically higher in females (p<0.001). No statistically significant variation was detected between the Trig values of the sexes. ALT, ALP activities of males were found to be statistically higher in males than in females (p<0.05). The results of the study revealed that some hematological and biochemical parameters of Boer x hair goat crossbreeds are affected by sex.

Sağlıklı Boer x Kıl Keçisi Melez Irklarında Cinsiyetin Bazı Hematolojik ve Biyokimyasal Parametreler Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, erkek ve dişi Boer x Kıl keçisi melezlerinde bazı hematolojik ve biyokimyasal parametrelerin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Hayvanların vena jugularisinden antikoagulanlı ve antikoagulansız tüplere kan örnekleri alındı. WBC, RBC, Hgb, Hct, MCV, MCH değerleri Mindray BC2800 tam otomatik kan sayım cihazında, Na, K, CI, Mg, Ca, Crea,Tp, Alb, Gluo, Chol, Trig, AST, ALT ve ALP analizleri ADVIA 1800 marka otoanalizörde yapıldı. WBC (p<0.01), RBC (p<0.05), HCT (p<0.01) ve MCV (p<0.05) düzeylerinin dişilerde erkeklere göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu, HGB, MCH düzeyleri karşılaştırıldığında ise istatistiksel olarak iki cinsiyet arasında fark olmadığı belirlendi. K (p <0.001) ve Mg (p <0.01) seviyeleri erkeklerde dişilere göre daha yüksek tespit edildi. Erkeklerde Crea (p <0.001), Tp (p <0.05), Alb (p <0.05), Gluo (P<0.001), düzeyleri dişilere göre yüksek, Chol seviyesi ise dişilerde erkeklerden istatistiksel olarak yüksek bulundu (p <0.001). Cinsiyetler arasında Trig değerleri bakımından fark tespit edilmedi. ALT (p <0.05), ALP (p <0.05) aktiviteleri karşılaştırıldığında erkek hayvanların dişilere göre daha yüksek değerlere sahip olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç olarak, Boer x Kıl keçisi melezlerine ait bazı hematolojik ve biyokimyasal parametrelerin cinsiyetten etkilendiği, bazılarında ise cinsiyet faktörünün etkili olmadığı belirlendi.
