Abstract

Reproduction status consider a great modifier of metabolism status of animal. Measuring biochemical blood parameters is an important tool to evaluate animals health. This project aimed to evaluate the impact of pregnancy and lactation statues on some variations of blood including TC, TG, lipoproteins (HDL, LDL and VLDL), total protein and some of hepatic enzymes including ALT, AST and ALP. Approximately 5-10 ml of venous blood were collected from clinically healthy awassi ewes. Enzymatic colorimetric procedure was used to estimate TC, TG and lipoproteins values and VLDL value was calculated. Hepatic enzymes activities were estimated by utilizing reflation apparatus. Significantly higher TC, TG, HDL, LDL , VLDL in serum were observed for pregnant group compared with control ewes. lactate group presented a significant decreased in TC at p≤0.01, TG, LDL, VLDL at p≤0.05 compared with their concentration in pregnant group. a significant change was presented of AST level and ALP level at p≤0.01 and p≤0.0001 in pregnant group comparing with control ewes. ALT didn’t show significant differ between control and lactate groups. Under similar conditions of management and environmental nutrition , different reproduction (pregnant and lactate) statuses play a significant role in alteration lipoproteins and hepatic enzymes levels in Awassi ewes.
