Some Macromineral and Trace Mineral Levels in Milk of Different Dog Breeds

Objective: In this study, it was planned to examine the mineral levels in milk of different breed dogs during lactation period. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, zinc, manganese and iron concentrations were analyzed dog throughout period.
 Materials methods: research 6 Labradors, German Shepherds, Pointers, 5 Turkish Tazis, Setters, 7 Malinois, Golden Retrievers (a total 40 dogs) 3 4 years age used as materials, all which under same management feeding conditions. All on diets appropriate for gestation periods. Adequate volume could be collected 2-3 weeks after parturition, there no known medical problems. Each day's samples kept capped refrigerated being collected. The calcium, iron, by using Varian Brand 30/40 model AAS device. 
 Results: Ca, K, Na, Zn, Mn Fe from breeds found have significant difference . highest Mg level determined Pointer samples, lowest Setter samples. Cu amongst inspected races Labrador whereas breeds. Conclusion:This data shows that most content did not change significantly period, any present taken into account when evaluating breeding studies.
