Some trace elements and vitamins A,C and E levels in ewes infected with gastrointestinal parasites

Bu çalısmanın amacı mide-barsak parazitlerle enfekte koyunlarda ve parazitsiz koyunlarda bazı iz elementler ve vitamin A, C ve E düzeylerini arastırmaktır. Çalısma; 10 saglıklı ve 20 mide-barsak parazitlerle enfekte olmak toplam 30 koyun üzerinde yürütüldü. statistiksel analizde;mide-barsak parazitlerle enfekte koyunların serum Cu, Zn, Fe ve vitamin A, C ve E düzeyleri saglıklı koyunlara göre önemli düzeyde düsük ( p < 0,01, p < 0,01, p < 0,05, p < 0,001, p < 0,001 ve p < 0,001 sırasıyla) bulundu. Bu arastırmanın sonucunda, mide-barsak parazitleriyle enfekte koyunlarda anti paraziter tedaviye ek olarak Cu, Zn, Fe ve vitamin A, C ve E içeren preparatlarının kullanılmasının da daha etkili olacagına inanılmaktadır.

Mide-barsak parazitlerle enfekte koyunlarda bazı iz alementler ve vitamin A,C ve E düzeyleri

The aim of this study was to investigate some trace elements and vitamins A, C, and E levels in sheep with gastrointestinal parasites and uninfected sheep. This study was conducted on 30 Akkaraman sheep consisting of 10 healthy sheep and 20 sheep infected with some gastrointestinal parasites. In the statistical analyses, serum Cu, Zn, Fe and vitamins A, C, and E levels in sheep with gastrointestinal parasitism were found to be less than those of control group (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). In the final course of our investigation we came to the conviction that the Cu, Zn, Fe and vitamins A, C, E preparations should be used in order to obtain a more affective and earlier cure against gastrointestinal parasites in the sheep infected with gastrointestinal parasites together with the other treatment protocols.
