Mide-Bağırsak Parazitleriyle Enfekte Gebe Akkaraman Koyunlarda Serum Demir, Total Demir Bağlama Kapasitesi, Demir Bağlamama Kapasitesi, Transferrin Doyum, Serum Bakır ve Bazı Hematolojik Parametreler

Bu araflt›rman›n amac›; mide-ba¤›rsak parazitleriyle enfekte gebe akkaraman ›rk› koyunlarda serum demir parametreleri, bak›r ve demir eksikli¤i anemisini araflt›rmakt›r. Araflt›rma 60 gebe akkaraman ›rk› koyun üzerinde yürütüldü. ‹statistiksel analizde, parazitli koyunlarda elde edilen de¤erler parazitle enfekte olmayan koyunlar›n de¤erleriyle karfl›laflt›r›ld›¤›nda PCV (P < 0,05), Hb (P < 0,05), RBC (P < 0,05), total protein (P < 0,05), albümin (P < 0,05), globulin (P < 0,05), MCHC (P < 0,01) de¤erlerinde azal›fl ve WBC de¤erinde (P < 0,05) art›fl gözlendi. Ayr›ca parazitli grubun parazitsiz gruba göre daha düflük serum Fe (P < 0,001), % TS (P < 0,001), serum Cu (P < 0,01) de¤erlere ve daha yüksek UIBC (P < 0,05) sahip oldu¤u saptand›. Sonuç olarak; parazitli gebe koyunlarda antiparaziter ilaç uygulamalar›n ek olarak ayn› zamanda demir eksikli¤ini tedavi etmek için demir preparatlar› uygulanmal›d›r.

Serum Iron, Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Unbound Iron-Binding Capacity, Transferrin Saturation, Serum Copper, and Hematological Parameters in Pregnant Akkaraman Ewes Infected with Gastro-Intestinal Parasites

The aim of this study was to investigate serum iron parameters, and copper and iron deficiency anemia in ewes infected with gastro-intestinal parasites. This study was conducted with 60 pregnant Akkaraman ewes. In the statistical analyses, values obtained from both parasite infected and uninfected ewes were compared. Significant decreases were observed in PCV (P < 0.05), Hb (P < 0.05), RBC (P < 0.05), total protein (P < 0.05), albumin (P < 0.05), globulin (P < 0.05), and MCHC (P < 0.01), and a significant increase was seen in the WBC value (P < 0.05) in the parasite infected group. Furthermore, the parasite infected group had lower serum Fe (P < 0.001), TS % (P < 0.001), and serum Cu (P < 0.01) levels, and had higher UIBC values (P < 0.05) compared to the values obtain from the uninfected group. Therefore, in addition to antiparasite drug treatment in parasite infected pregnant ewes, iron preparations should also be administered in order to treat iron deficiency.
