Abstract

The periparturient period is very important especially in terms of pregnancy-related herd-based diseases. In this period, especially for early diagnosis of subclinical diseases, a metabolic profile test is used. In the periparturient period, important changes occur in adipose tissue. Blood samples were collected from 16 Romanov sheep in the periparturient in serum tubes on the 21st, 14th, 7th, and postpartum days, and 7th, 14th, and 21st days after delivery. Metabolic profile and Adiponectin, Leptin and Ghrelin parameters evaluated from the blood samples. In the periparturient period, ELISA analyzes of TNF-α were performed for inflammatory evaluation. As a result of the analyzes, Prenatal increase in NEFA concentrations, postpartum decrease in cholesterol concentrations, postpartum increase and decrease in AST concentrations, postpartum increase in GGT concentrations, prenatal and postnatal increases in total protein concentrations, postpartum increase in BUN and creatinine concentrations, postpartum decrease in magnesium concentrations, Prenatal increase in adiponectin concentrations and postpartum decrease, postpartum decrease in leptin concentrations and prenatal increase in ghrelin concentrations occurred. With the results obtained, it was concluded that the evaluation of metabolic profile and adipose tissue is important in the diagnosis of diseases in the periparturient period.
