Biochemical and trace mineral profile in post-parturient dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius)

摘要

The present study was conducted to evaluate the biochemical and trace mineral profile in post parturient dromedary camel. The serum iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), total protein (TP) and cholesterol were 35.95+or-1.49 micro g/ml, 185+or-18.6 micro g/dl, 96.66+or-3.0 micro g/dl, 90.37+or-2.1 micro g/dl, 3.45+or-0.05 mg/dl, 9.64+or-0.22 mg/dl, 3.13+or-0.24 mg/dl, 5.63+or-0.18 g/dl and 52.59+or-4.81 mg/dl respectively. No significant difference was found in serum iron, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, total protein and cholesterol content between camels conceived and not conceived from breeding in early post-partum period. The Ca: P ratio was wider in non-pregnant (3.3:1) than pregnant camels (2.5:1).
