Some Blood Parameters Changes for Beef Bulls in Different Seasons

Serap Goncu

Abstract: This study was carried out in a private livestock farm in Adana, located between latitudes 35 - 38 and longitudes 34 - 46 east, in 2020. Angus and Hereford breeds, aged 13 - 18 months, were studied as animal material. The aim of this study is to compare the changes in blood parameters of Angus and Hereford bulls, which are the most common fattening breeds. The healthy ones among the Hereford and Angus cattle were determined by the responsible veterinarian of the enterprise according to health symptoms such as feed consumption, lameness scores, rumination, and they were taken into separate compartments in order to determine their summer and winter values. During the experiment, the grains were kept in the same compartments and fed with a total mixture ration containing barley malt pulp, apricot pulp and corn silage. Blood samples (10 ml) were taken from the vena jugularis by the farm veterinarian. After the blood samples were kept at room temperature for 1 hour, they were incubated at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes. The serum was separated by centrifugation. Samples were stored in a deep freezer at - 20?C until analysis. Using sera from blood samples a total of 14 parameter analyzes were performed using the appropriate kit and method for each parameter in the Roche Cobas C - 501 Autoanalyzer device. BUN value were calculated using urea nitrojen content (%46). In the differences between blood protein and albumin levels of Angus and Hereford bulls, the interaction effect of breed (P
