Abstract

A total number of forty two ewes (local breed) 2- 5 years old, were selected from a flock contains 250 head, were used in this study. The animals grazed in free pasture at El-Tall El-Kebir region, Al-Ismailia Governorate. The pastures were improved by using azotic urea and lime super phosphate as fertilizers . After clinical and parasitological examination of the blood, faeces and skin, ewes were divided into two groups: (A) Healthy Control (20 ewes) and (B) Hypocupremic group manifested by alopecia and wool abnormalities (22 ewes). Blood and serum samples were collected for haematological and biochemical studies. Samples of wool, soil, drinking water and ration were analysed for major and minor elements biochemical data revealed a significant decrease of serum copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, ceruloplasmin, total protein and albumin in addition to a significant increase of serum molybdenum and Beta globulins in group B. Moreover, a significant decrease in Hb content, R.B.Cs, PCV, MCHC and MCV was recorded in hypocupremic ewes. Furthermore, wool contents of copper, zine, iron and manganese in affected awes were significantly decreased The general health condition of affected ewes and the a forementioned parameters regained their normal values within one month post treatment with cuperic glycinate subcutaneously beside supplementation of mineral blocks. It is concluded that biochemical analysis of bio- logical samples of sheep is a reliable tool for early diagnosis of some nutritional deficiency disorders and cuperic glycinate is an effective treatment for hypocupremic sheep.
