Effect of diet on the metabolic profile of ostriches (Struthio camelus var. domesticus) / F., Bovera; Moniello, Giuseppe; N., DE RIU; C., DI MEO; W., Pinna; A., Nizza. - In: TROPICAL ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTION. - ISSN 0049-4747. - 39:4(2007), pp. 268-272. [10.1007/s11250-007-9008-2]
Abstract:
In order to study the metabolic profile of
ostriches in relation to diet, 40 animals of both sexes
were divided equally into two groups and fed two
diets ad libitum consisting, on a dry matter basis, of
the same commercial concentrate (60%) for the two
groups and of corn silage (group A) or alfalfa hay
(group B). In the morning, after about 12 h of fasting,
blood was collected from the wing vein. The following
haematological parameters were determined with
an automatic system (Ektachem 250 analyser, Kodak):
glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, lactate (LAC), total
protein (TP), uric acid, total bilirubin (Tbil), creatinine
(CREA), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus
(P), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl−), iron
(Fe), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase
(ALT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), cholinesterase
(ChE), α-amylase (Amyl), lipase (LIP)
and γ-glutamyltrasferase (GGT). Diet significantly
affected some parameters of the metabolic profile.
