Anemia syndrome is defined as a reduction in erythrocyte mass, hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration and sometimes leads to tissue hypoxia. Domesticated sheep and goats are essential to food security and the national economy. The present study aimed to determine the clinical impact of anemia in sheep and goats from different localities in the New Valley governorate. 150 sheep and 360 goats were clinically examined. Blood and fecal samples were collected from multiple locations. Hematological variables, serum iron (Fe⁺²), copper (Cu⁺²), and vitamin B12 concentrations were estimated. Moreover, blood film and fecal examination were analyzed. Furthermore, the effect of amino acids, multimineral, and vitamin combination (AMVC) administration was studied on clinically anemic sheep and goats.
The results revealed significant improvement in hemoglobin, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin in anemic sheep and goats administrated AMVC compared to anemic ones. Moreover, serum Fe⁺², Cu⁺², and vitamin B12 levels were elevated. The current research found that anemic syndrome had significant detrimental effects on the health of sheep and goats in the New Valley governorate; however, using multivitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids in the ration can restore these effects.
