Abstract | ||||
Of twenty-two pregnant ewes, twelve were vaccinated by polyvalent clostridial vaccine (CI. perfringens B and 0, aoedematiens and CL. chauvoe0. Forty-five days before lambing, a dose of 3 ml was given followed by 2 ml booster dose three weeks later. The other ten ewes were left without vaccination as a control group. Blood samples were taken from the dams of both control and vaccinated groups at birth 0,15,30 and 45 days and also from their lambs at 15, 30 and 45 days old. A significant decrease of serum GPT, GOT, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, urea, creatinine and uric acid in vaccinated ewes and their lambs was noticed. Serum total protein was significantly increased on day 30 after birth in vaccinated ewes. The increase was mainly in the prealbumin and globulin fractions percentages. In lambs albumin fraction and gamma globulin, percentages were significantly increased in comparision with vaccinated group. | ||||
