Özet |
The aim of the study was to evaluate the measurement of total calcium levels in sera of sheep with and without milk fever by using a commercial water hardness test kit. Thirty sheep with findings of milk fever from 9 different farms were used in the present study. Total serum calcium concentrations were determined by using a commercial water hardness test kit and a laboratory automated biochemical analyzer. Results of the test kit and laboratory methods were significantly (P < 0.001) correlated (Spearman's p = 0.896). In conclusion, it has been determined that total calcium levels in sheep sera may be determined with a water hardness test kit as used in this study, and that data are in concordance with the clinical findings and the other laboratory results. |
