Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
A study was carried out to assess and compare selected biochemical parameters in blood plasma of 18 crossbred sows (Large white Yorkshire x Indigenous) during different phases of reproduction. There was significantly (P < 0.01) decreased level of total glucose was found in anoestrus pigs than in cyclic pigs, i.e., 83.5+2.22, 90.68+3.11 and 72.8+3.66 mg% during mid- oestrus, luteal and in anoestrus phases, respectively. The mean serum total proteins in cross- bred pigs were observed to be 6.31+0.35, 6.05+0.17 and 6.04+0.17 g% during mid-oestrusm luteal and anoestrum phases respectively and the differences were non signif icant (P < 0.01).However a significant (P < 0.01) lower levels of total lipids and total cholesterols were recorded during anoestrus than during mid-oestrus and oestrus phases, respectively.
