Journal Title: TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN VETERINARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This study was focused on changes of some minerals and blood metabolites during experimentally in-duced H. contortus infection in lambs. A total of 12 animals were included in the study and were divided into experimental (n=6) and control (n=6) groups. The lambs from experimental group were orally inoculated with 4000 infective H. contortus larvae (L3) by placing a probe. Blood parameters (calcium, phosphorus, magne-sium, creatitine, glucose, total bilirubin, urea and alkaline phosphatase) were monitored on post infection days 0 and 21. The most pronounced changes occurred in urea and alkaline phosphatase levels, which increased significantly on day 21 (p<0.05) and reached values of 12.17±0.24 mmol/L and 334.17±32.3 U/L, respectively. The concentration of urea in experimental group was higher by 46.82% compared to control group. Alkaline phosphatase activity was also increased by 55.07% vs. control group. Mild changes occured in plasma concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, creatinine, glucose and total bilirubin but were not considered significant throughout the experiment.
