Serum Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) Values of Sheep in the Marmara Region
Abstract
Trace elements are essential biomolecules for the organism as they are cofactors of various enzymes. The amount of minerals in animal biochemistry gives information about the mineral concentration in plants and soil. Thus, it allows the examination of resistance or susceptibility to diseases in animals living in the region. In this study, it was aimed to examine the levels of some trace elements, which have important effects on the immune system, in sheep in the Marmara region. In the study, blood sera obtained from 74 sheep in 7 provinces (Çanakkale, Düzce, İstanbul, Kırklareli, Sakarya, Tekirdağ, Yalova) in the Marmara region were used. Copper and zinc levels in serum samples collected were examined by spectrophotometer. Trace element concentrations in the blood serum of sheep in the Marmara region were determined to provide data for future studies. Regional differences were examined by calculating the average mineral substance content.
