Serum and Wool Trace Element Profiles in Akkaraman Sheep: An Element-Specific Matrix Comparison

Öz

Minerals and trace elements are essential for physiological homeostasis, yet the relationship between serum and wool in sheep may vary according to the element examined. This study compared serum and wool multi-element profiles in Akkaraman sheep from four regions of Yozgat, Türkiye, and evaluated element-specific associations between these matrices. Healthy, pasture-fed, 3-year-old female sheep were sampled from Bahadın, Y. Fakılı, Çekerek, and Akdağmadeni. Serum and wool samples were analyzed for Mg, P, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Co, Se, Mo, Ni, Cd, Pb, and Li by ICP-MS. Regional differences were evaluated using Brown–Forsythe and Welch ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis tests, and serum–wool relationships were assessed by Spearman correlation analysis. Significant positive serum–wool correlations were observed for Zn, Se, Pb, and Co, whereas Cd, Mn, and Mo showed significant negative correlations. No significant associations were detected for Mg, P, Ca, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni, or Li. Regional differences were observed more frequently in serum than in wool. These findings indicate that serum and wool should not be interpreted interchangeably for all analytes. Wool measurements should be evaluated on an element-specific basis and may provide complementary information for selected trace elements.
