Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the some serum biochemical values of Kyrgyz donkeys and present the reference values. Fifty (50) healthy donkeys in different ages (6–24 months, 2–15 years, and > 15 years old) and gender (male and female) were clinically examined and blood samples were taken. Serum triglycerides (TG), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBil), total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), creatinine (Creat), urea (Urea), amylase (Amy), lipase (Lip), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), cholesterol (Chol), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose (Glu), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and indirect bilirubin (InBil) values were determined. Serum Ca values were found different (P < 0.05) among the age groups (younger, middle aged and older). TBil values were detected different between sex groups (P < 0.01). Serum creat values were determined higher in male donkeys than females (P < 0.01). Serum LDL values were found higher in younger than older donkeys (P < 0.05). It was the first report for donkeys according to LDL values. Serum CPK values were also detected higher in male donkeys and found significantly difference between younger and middle aged donkeys (P < 0.05). Consequently, some serum biochemical values of Kyrgyz donkeys were determined and advised as reference values for Tong region of Kyrgyzstan.
