Perfil bioquímico sanguíneo de llamas (Lama glama) aparentemente sanas de la serranía ecuatoriana

Abstract

The study was conducted with 73 adult llamas, (63 females and 10 males), the samples were collected in: Calpi, San Luis, Punín, Valparaíso and Licto. The analyzes were carried out in the Animal Reproduction Laboratory of the Higher Polytechnic School of Chimborazo, where the following blood parameters in plasma were examined; Cholesterol, Creatinine, Glucose, Urea, Albumin, Total proteins, enzymes such as: ALT, AST, FA, GGT: a multifactorial ADEVA was used where gender and location were taken into account as independent variables, means and comparisons were calculated using Tukey, correlations were run using the Pearson statistic. The blood samples were obtained from jugular venopuncture obtaining the following results: For the places of origin, no significant differences were reported (P> 0.05) for cholesterol, urea and ALT; highly significant differences were reported (P <0.01), with higher values observed in the San Luis flames for glucose (120.33 mg / dL); creatinine (1.92 mg / dL) the high value in flames of Valparaíso; the AST with the highest quantity (229.85 U / L) in Licto flames; in the FA the flames of San Luis (1.30 U / L); for the GGT the Calpi flames (16.07 U / L), for the total proteins and the albumin presented better values for the Calpi, San Luis, Valparaíso and Licto flames. For the sex factor, no significant differences were reported. Only for FA, highly significant differences were recorded, obtaining higher values in the males (0.62 U / L). The correlations compared were low (r <0.6) among the variables analyzed.
