mg/dl (mmol/L) glucose in the
sample=absorbance sample/absorbance standard
×con. of standard
Cholesterol; was determined by kit from
archem diagnostic industry (Turkey) and the
concentration calculated using the following
equation.
Cholesterol (mg/dl) =absorbance sample/
absorbance standard ×con. of stan. (mg/dl).
Insulin: All insulin samples were run in a
single assay was analyzed using Elcysys and
Cobase immunoassay kit (Cobas,USA) and the
analytical sensitivity was 0.20 µu/ml.
General linear model (GLM) within the
statistical program SAS (2005) were used to
analyze the factors affecting biochemical
constituents. Duncan Multiple Range Test
(Duncan, 1955) also used to test the significant
differences between the levels of each factor
affecting the studied traits.
Correlation coefficients among traits
associated with puberty were also calculated.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Biochemical constituents of blood
Total protein, cholesterol , and glucose
averaged 6.66±0.072 gm/l, 37.53±1.19 mg/dl
and 81.42±1.46 mg/dl ,respectively (Table
1).The present values of total protein are
within the normal ranges reported by Brigele
and IIgaza (2003) who found that normal values
of total protein in blood serum of sheep were in
a range between 6 and 8 gm/l. Also, the values
of glucose concentration in blood serum of the
two groups are within the normal range in sheep
given by Williams (1997) being 40-80 mg/dl.
However, cholesterol level was slightly lower
than the normal range (52- 76 mg/dl) as
indicated by Kaneko et al (1997).
Feeding ewe lambs 12% or 16%. crude
protein had no significant effect on both total
protein and glucose ,whereas the effect on
cholesterol was significant (P
