Evaluation of Some Metabolic Parameters in Mid-Lactating and Dry Period of Buffaloes in North Basrah Governorates

The aimed of the current study to analyse the influence of mid stage of lactation and dry period on physiological metabolic alterations of buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). Till now there is no reference values for different metabolic physiological during mid stage of lactation in buffaloes Animals were examined at buffaloes farms that belong to north of Basrah Governorate, Iraq. Based on selection criteria, a total of 40 clinically healthy female buffaloes (2-7 years old) were divided in to thirty lactating buffaloes and ten dry buffaloes. This study was included samples of serum for biochemical analysis such as lipid profile. glucose, CK. Urea, Creatinine, BUN, Alanine transferase, Aspartate.transferase, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin Alkaline phosphatase Calcium, Phosphor The established values will be a useful guide for interpreting serum metabolic parameters in lactating buffaloes.
