Biochemical and Immunological Studies Associated with Some Minerals Deficiency in Sheep in New Valley
Eman El Ebissy.
Abstract
Background: Nutrition and health are closely connected, meaning that a lack of proper nutrition will adversely affect the health and immune function of sheep.
Aim: The goal of the current study was to ascertain how sheep's mineral deficiencies affected their immune systems and general health in the New Valley Governorate of Egypt.
Methods: For this investigation, forty (40) sheep (2–3 years old) were used. These animals were split into two groups: twenty sheep in the control group (apparently healthy sheep) and twenty sheep in the diseased group, deficient in minerals and had varying degrees of alopecia, emaciation, lameness, diarrhea, anorexia, and body weight loss.
Results: The results indicated there was a significant (P
