Abstract

Literature are lacking any studies on the blood metabolic profiles of the pregnant camel. Such values would be of great importance in the prevention of the clinical expression of major metabolic disorders, therefore, ensuring normal pregnancy. Blood samples, taken from 61 camels throughout pregnancy, were analysed for total protein, albumin, urea, uric acid, creatini ne, glucose, total lipid and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT). The respective mean concentrations were 9.43 g/dl, 3.84 g/d, 50.32 mg/dl, 0.54 mg/dl, 3.62 mg/dl, 91.11 mg/dl, 280.80 mg/dl and 100.55 U/L. Pregnancy had a significant effect (P/ 0.01) on all serum components, except uric acid; the magnitude of this effect varied among pregnancy stages. Marked decreases in the serum totla protein, albumin, glucose and urea and increases in the serum creatinine and GOT were found with the advancement of gestation. The most significant changes in serum concentrat ions were confined to the late pregnancy periods (> 360 days). The data were also analysed for regression analysis and correlat ion coefficients between pregnancy and serum concentrations. Concepts relevant to the physiological significance of these events were discussed. In addition, interrelationships among all serum components were investigated.
