Some Mineral Substance, Oxidative Stress and Total Antioxidant Levels in Norduz and Morkaraman Sheep

The aim of the study was to compare some mineral substances and total antioxidant and totaloxidan levels of healthy Morkaraman and Norduz sheep breeds in the same age and care conditions. A total of 20 animals, 10 from each sheep breed, were included in the study. Serum total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were determined by a colarimetric method. OSI value was determined by calculating the TAS-TOS ratio. When the two sheep were compared, there was a difference between TAS, Mg, P levels. Antioxidant levels of Norduz sheep were higher than morkaraman sheep. The given data may be the reference value for studies of these sheep breeds
