چکیده

tetracycline may be used to treat several types of bacterial diseases in ruminants. in addition, tetracycline is added to food to promote the growth. there are few reports on the pharmacokinetics of tetracycline in sheep. therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug in sheep. ten apparently healthy mixed-breed sheep were administered 20 mg/kg tetracycline orally and intravenously with a time interval of two weeks. blood samples were collected before and at various time intervals after the administration of the drug. sera were separated, kept at -20 °c, and analysed using fluorescence spectrophotometry. the volume of distribution (vd), elimination rate constant (kel), half-life (t1/2), and clearance (clb ) of tetracycline after intravenous injection were determined to be 0.21 l/kg, 0.21/hr, 3.3 hr, and 0.73 ml/kg/min, respectively. when the drug was given orally, these parameters were found to be 0.37 l/kg, 0.12/hr, 5.8 hr, and 0.73 ml/kg/min, respectively. moreover, the bioavailability of tetracycline after oral administration was around 55%.

Determination of serum haptoglobin reference value in clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep

Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 101 clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep according to their age (5 years) and sex. Serum haptoglobin (Hp) was measured based upon the preservation of the peroxidase activity of haemoglobin, which is directly proportional to the amount of Hp. The reference value for serum Hp of apparently healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep was 0.05-0.18 ...

Effect of dietary energy level and docking on carcass characteristics of fat-tailed Kurdi sheep

Effects of partial docking on feedlot performance and body fat characteristics were studied in a fat-tailed sheep breed. Thirty-eight male lambs with an average weight of 4.44 ± 0.48 were randomly divided into two groups. The lambs in one group were partially docked at 3-4 h after birth, using rubber rings, and the lambs in another group remained intact (control). After weaning, 20 male lambs f...
