Cellular and Some Biochemical Changes in Blood and Peritoneal Fluid Constituents in Awassi Lambs Following Elective Castration

摘要: No reports could be cited in the recent literature concerning effects of surgical castration on blood and peritoneal fluid constituents lambs. The purpose this study was to evaluate cellular some biochemical parameters Awassi Eight, clinically healthy, 5-month-old, lambs were surgically castrated. Peritoneal samples collected prior (day 0) days 1, 3 7 post castration. Total nucleated cell count (TNCC) determined using an electric counter. protein (TP), albumin, fibrinogen, creatinine, urea, glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations analyzed commercially available kits. Following castration, number peripheral white cells (WBC) percentage neutrophils significantly increased (p 0.05) lymphocytes fluid. concentration TP, ALP AST (p<0.05) while LDH did not change. Results show that changes components are likely follow elective These must taken consideration when from evaluated for diagnosis abdominal diseases.
