Determination of the Levels of Magnesium and Phosphorus of Akkaraman Sheep in Pasture Period in Van Province

Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the Magnesium (Mg) and Phosphorus (P) levels in the blood serum and wool from clinically healthy Akkaraman ewes grazed in pastures in the Van region. The studies were carried out on 87 Akkaraman ewes from districts of Van (Central, Özalp, Gürpınar, Gevaş, Erciş). The Mg and P values were determined by ICP-OES (ICAP Thermoscientific) device. The average Mg levels of the blood serum were lower than the normal values. The lowest P level was found in Özalp district (p<0.01). In addition, it was found that the P level of the blood serum in the Özalp district was below the normal values, unlike the other regions. As a result, in all districts of Van, the sheep in the pasture should be supplemented with Mg. In addition, the P mineral substance should be given to the sheep in the Özalp district.
