Abstract
A total number of 160 Egyptian Balady sheep, 3-5 years age of both sexes were included in this study.
The study run into two parts:
First part, (field study): included 100 animals, that were subdivided into 2 groups: 1st group proved to be clinically healthy by both clinical and laboratory methods of examination and served as control. The 2nd group was admitted to the veterinary clinics inAssiut and suffered from ruminal dysfunction.
Second part, (experimental study): including 60 animals belonged to the clinic of Vet Med. Dept. Animals were niven different types of rations in an abnormal amounts to induce experimental impaction while healthy animals were kept as a control.
Samples of blood sera were collected from all field and experimental animals to estimate total protein (gm%), albumin (qm%), globulin (gm%), albumin/globulin ratio, electrophoresis (%) calcium (mg%), inorganic phosphorus (mg%), magnesium (mg%), sodium (mmol/L), potassium (rnmol/L) and chloride (mmol/L).
Ruminal juice samples were collected from each animal to study.the physical properties of the juice including color, odour and consistency, microscopic examination of protozoa, detection of hydrogen ions concentration and biochemical analysis of total protein (om%), albumin (gm%), globulin (qm%), albumin/olobulin ratio, calcium (mq%), inorganic phosphorus (ma%), magnesium (ng%), sodium (mmol/l), potassium (mmol/l) and chloride (mmol/l).
