Linkages between Lysozyme and Complement Levels and Some Productive Traits in Sheep

摘要

The present study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the characteristic production traits in the different types sheep breeds and the concentrations of lysozyme and complement as principal humoral factors of innate immunity. For this experiment the sheep from 3 productive types were included: A. Milk type crossings: 118 sheep - Stara Zagora X East-Friesian and (Stara Zagora x East-Friesian) x Blackhead Pleven breed included; B. Merino type: 80 sheep from the Trakia merino breed; C. Meat type
