Aims
of this study, were comparisons of some
blood parameters which includes leucocyte count (WBC), erythrocyte count (RBC),
Hemoglobin (Hg), Hematocrit level (HCT), Platelets count (PLT) and mean volume
of erythrocytes (MCV) and some macro element levels which includes iron (Fe),
calcium (Ca), phosphor (P) and magnesium (Mg) in both naturally infected and
healthy Akkaraman Kangal lambs. Total of 48 Akkaraman Kangal lambs aged between
3 to 8 weeks were used in study in which 24 of them were clinically healthy and
other 24 were coccidiosis infected. Blood and fecal samples were collected.
Hematologic levels were determined by hemocytometer and macro elements were
determined by biochemical analyzer. Eimeria spp. oocytes were observed in all
fecal samples from coccidiosis affected lambs during parasitology examination.
Decreases in levels of erythrocyte (P<0.001), hemoglobin (P<0.001),
thrombocyte (P<0.001), hematocrit (P<0.001) and iron (P<0.001),
phosphor (P<0.01) and increase in level of mean volume of erythrocytes
(P<0.001) were allfound statistically significant. No intergroup significant
difference was found for levels of leucocyte and serum calcium and magnesium
(P>0.05). In conclusion, it was thought that differences in some blood
parameters and serum macro element levels should be considered in diarrhea
cases.
