Aim: Evaluation of the effects of season, sex and age on serum
concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium
and potassium in dromedarian camels.
Material and Method: Serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium values were obtained from 180 clinically healthy animals. Results: Serum concentration of potassium showed a significant difference between the two sexes (P<0.049). Also, serum potassium and calcium levels had significant difference between the different age groups of camels (P<0.007 and P<0.001, respectively) and had significant correlation with the age of the animals (r=0.216, P<0.004 and r=-0.205, P<0.006, respectively). There were significant differences between summer and winter seasons in the serum concentrations of calcium (P<0.012), phosphorus (P<0.001), potassium (P<0.001) and magnesium (P<0.004). Conclusion: It may be stated that season, sex and age effect the serum concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium in dromedarian camels. |
