| The aim of the present work was to determine the serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), unbound iron binding capacity (UIBC), transferrin saturation percentage (TS%) and Serum Copper in normal lactating and Ovine mastitis. The study was conducted on 50 clinically normal lactating and 50 ewes affected with staphylococcal mastitis (19 clinical and 31 subclinical), both groups aged 2-5 years in Salah Al-Din governorate. The blood samples were collected from jugular vein during the period October 2012 until April 2013. The separated sera were directly used for measurement of investigated biochemical tests. The results showed that the ranges and means ± SE of normal lactating and Ovine mastitis were as follows; serum iron 29.81-39. 63μmol /L and 33.38 ± 0.4 μmol /L, 8.76 - 34.11 μmol /L and 20.42 ± 0.98 μmol /L respectively, TIBC 44.7-79.89 μmol /L and 62.03 ±1.65μmol /L, 43.24 - 125.72 μmol /L and 91.24 ± 2.49 μmol /L respectively, UIBC 14.71 - 40.27 μmol /L and 28.57 ± 1.31 μmol /L, 13.41- 113.25 μmol /L and 66.54 ± 3.23μmol /L respectively, TS% 47.92 -71.79 and 55.08 ± 1.01, 14.1 - 65.76 and 26.73 ± 2.71 respectively, and serum copper 13.97 - 23.61 μmol /L and 17.99 ± 0.39μmol /L, 7.1 - 16.09 μmol/L and 11.8 ± 0.32 μmol /L respectively. However, significant (P<0.05) differences between clinically normal and ewes affected with mastitis were recorded in all the measured parameters. The present data records reference ranges and means ± SE of some biochemical parameters in normal lactating and Ovine mastitis with a significant differences between them. | ||
