Abstract
An investigation was planned to find out of electrolytes and metabolites
during moderate and hot ambience in Sirohi goats ageing 1-4 years (Male and
Female). The electrolytes included were calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium,
potassium and chloride and metabolites were cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, total
serum protein and urea.
The mean±SEM values of serum calcium (mg%), phosphorus (mg%),
magnesium (mg/dl), sodium (meq/l), potassium (meq/l) and chloride (meq/l)
during moderate ambience were 11.442±0.40, 6.075±0.20, 2.787±0.12,
143.275±3.21, 5.097±0.24 and 111.347±2.19, respectively in male goats whereas
the mean ±SEM values of serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium,
potassium and chloride during moderate ambience were 10.125±0.36, 5.396±0.17,
2.282±0.09, 135.020±2.41, 4.426±0.18 and 101.977±2.89, respectively in female
goats.
During hot ambience serum sodium and chloride increased significantly
(p<0.05) than moderate ambience while serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium
and potassium levels decreased significantly (p<0.05) than moderate ambience. In
present study the effect of sex on serum electrolytes were also studied. All the
serum electrolytes levels were higher in the male than the female goats.
The mean±SEM values of serum cholesterol (mg%), glucose (mg/dl),
creatinine (mg%), total serum protein (g/dl) and urea (mg/dl) during moderate
ambience were 111.5±5.35, 63.668±1.79, 1.362±0.09, 7.170±0.21 and 46.1±2.72,
104
respectively in male goats whereas the mean±SEM values of serum cholesterol,
glucose, creatinine, total serum protein and urea in female goats during moderate
ambience were 138±7.57, 52.439±2.32, 1.1±0.08, 6.578±0.11 and 37.6±1.06,
respectively.
During hot ambience serum cholesterol, glucose, creatinine and urea were
increased significantly (p<0.05) than respective moderate ambience mean values
while the mean value of total serum protein level was decreased significantly
(p<0.05) than moderate ambience. In present study the effect of sex on serum
metabolites were also studied. All serum metabolite levels were found higher
during both ambiences in male than female goats but cholesterol level was lower in
the male than the female goats.
It was concluded that hot ambience produces significant effect on the serum
levels of electrolytes and metabolites. However, the type of sex also influences the
serum electrolytes and metabolites.
