Some blood biochemical parameters of meriz does during different physiological status

Eleven clinically healthy Meriz goat, 3 ± 0.5 years old, and 35.30±0.6 kg in weight were used to investigate the effect of physiological status on blood serum concentration of total protein (TP), albumin, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Results revealed that the physiological status have a significant (P?0.05) effect on total protein, triglyceride, cholesterol and AST. Yet, the lowest and highest values of each of total protein (5.25±0.16, 5.91±0.22 g/dl), triglyceride (0.68±0.06, 1.32±0.16 mg/dl) was recorded during pregnancy and dry periods, respectively. Cholesterol was at its lowest (60.38±2.03 mg/dl) and highest (71.65±2.34 mg/dl) values during lactation and pregnancy periods. The highest activity of AST (151.47±6.78 IU/L) was recorded at dry period. Albumin, Glucose and ALT was not affected significantly by different physiological status of does.
