Kıl keçilerinde ısı stresinin toplam oksidan kapasitesine etkisi

Aim of this study was to investigate the effect heat stress on total oxidant capacity (TOC) in hair goats grown at different altitudes same season. The carried out 208 (25 male and 183 female) 11 districts Adana province (Turkey) summer were grouped as 0-99 m (Grop 1), 100-500 (Group 2) higher than 500 3) according altitude characteristics, classified into two groups under 3 years 4 or older. Blood samples collected, serums harvested stored -20°C until TOC analysis. Heat determined temperature humidity index (THI). There severe moderate 1 2, respectively (P<0.001). significantly lower group 2 compared other highest measured And animals aged older age (P<0.05). Although exposed THI female (P<0.01), levels found similar both (P>0.05). In conclusion, altitude, THI, gender had a complex TOC.
