Abstract
The present study was carried out at Bakrojo training field's station which belongs to the college of Agriculture University of Sulaimani, during the period from 15th92004 to 15th July 2005. this study included 50 adult does, aged (2.5-3) years with an average weight of (32±1.2) kg. The animals divided into two groups, the first group includes 10 non pregnant does, while the second groups included 40 pregnant does. Statistically all significant results of blood and biochemical results were at (p<0.05). The result showed a significant decreased of the erythrocytes member during the second month of pregnancy (8.88±0.67 million/µL) in comparison (11.49±0.27 million/ µL) for control. There were no significant effect of pregnancy and days after parturition on the number of leukocyte, haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume percentage. In regard to the biochemical changes there was significant decreased of glucose concentration at the third month of pregnancy and at fifth day postpartum. Total serum cholesterol concentration was significantly decreased (p<0.05) at the third and fourth month of pregnancy and at first and fifth day postpartum while total serum protein concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) at the third and fourth month of pregnancy, but significantly decreased at first and fifth day postpartum. The concentration of phosphorus decreased at the first month of pregnancy but increased at the second month of pregnancy and at the third day postpartum decreased again. In regard to serum enzyme change significant decreased (p<0.05) in the activity of AST at first and fifth month of pregnancy. The activity of ALT enzyme increased significantly at the second month of pregnancy and decreased at the third month of pregnancy and during the postpartum days, while ALT enzyme activity was significant decreased (p<0.05) in the first month and increased in the fifth month of pregnancy, there were increased of ALP enzyme at the first and third day postpartum.
