|
The present study was undertaken to clarify the changes in blood chemical values of indigenous Korean striped calves according to age. Blood samples were collected from 15 calves (8 females and 7 males) reared at the Gyeongsangbukdo Livestock Research Institute and the levels of various chemicals in se-rum were analyzed. The mean total protein, albumin and globulin concentration in calves increased from 2 weeks after birth, and the levels in females were higher than those in males at 8 weeks after birth. The mean glucose concentration increased significantly at 2 weeks after birth. The mean blood urea ni-trogen concentration increased from 2 weeks after birth, whereas the mean creatinine concentration de-creased significantly from 2 weeks after birth. The mean uric acid concentration increased gradually from 2 weeks after birth. The mean glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic trans-aminase concentration increased significantly from 2 weeks after birth. The mean total bilirubin concen-tration tended to decrease from 2 weeks after birth. The mean triglyceride, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration increased significantly from 2 weeks after birth. In con-clusion, the data obtained from this study may be valuable as a standard for interpreting results of bio-chemical analyses in indigenous Korean striped calves.
