Investigation of Paraoxonase and Ceruloplasmin Concentrations in Hair Goats Grazing at Different Heights

The aim of this study is to reveal the changes in Paraoxonase and Ceruloplasmin concentrations in hair goats grazed at different altitudes. 80 hair goats living in different regions in Adana were included in the study and divided into four groups. The first group was grazed at an altitude of 10-99 meters above sea level, the second group was grazed at an altitude of 240 meters, the third group was grazed at an altitude of 750-800 meters and the fourth group was grazed at an altitude of 1200-1500 meters. Blood samples collected from the jugular vein during the summer months were taken into red-capped tubes. Paraoxonase and Ceruloplasmin analyzes were analyzed by spectrophotometric method. The results of paraoxonase in 240 meter (1113.91±84.57 U/mL) and 750-800 meter (974.27±69.58 U/mL) were found statistically higher than 10-99 meter group (651.72±52.93 U/mL; p
