ABSTRACT
Nazifi S,
Baghshani H, Saeb M, Saeb S., Effect of transport heat stress on serum
enzyme and minerals in dromedary camels, Onl
J Vet Res., 13 (2):84-92, 2009. Authors report effect of
transport heat stress on serum enzyme and mineral levels in 5
dromedary camels of each gender. Blood samples were taken before loading, at 1
h, after unloading, and 24 h later. Camels were
transported on smooth roads for 5 hours with stocking density of ~1m2
per animal at 32-36°C and 17-25RH%. Mean lactate dehydrogenase,
alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl
transferase, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium
values did not change significantly. However, creatine
kinase and aspartate aminotransferase activity increased suggesting handling and preloading muscle stress.
