Sažetak
The goal of this research was to determine the breed, parity and litter size influence on macromineral levels during puerperium in Boer goats and crossbreeds of German Fawn-improved goats. Twenty Boer goats (8 primiparous and 12 pluriparous) and 10 crossbreeds of German Fawn-improved goats (5 primiparous and 5 pluriparous) between 2 and 6 years old were used in this research. Blood samples were taken every four days, starting on the third day until day 40th of puerperium. Potassium, magnesium, sodium and chloride serum concentrations were determined. These were within physiological ranges in Boer goats and in crossbreeds, without significant differences according to parity and the litter size. Boer goats had significant higher (P<0.05) calcium serum level in comparison to crossbreed of German Fawn-improved goats. Phosphorous levels were significantly higher in crossbreed (P<0.05) in comparison to Boer goats. Both production goat types had significantly higher (P<0.05) phosphorous level in primiparous in comparison to pluriparous goats. It was determined that German Fawn-improved goats had average serum calcium level 2.12 ± 0.05 mmol/L (primiparous) and 2.15 ± 0.05 mmol/L (pluriparous), that is below normal ranges (2.3 to 2.9 mmol/L) whereas Boer goat (meat breed), regardless of parity and the litter size, had signififi cantly higher (P<0.05) levels of serum calcium 2.29 ± 0.04 to 2.38 ± 0.02 mmol/L. In our research, crossbred German Fawn-improved goats durincalcium 2.29 ± 0.04 to 2.38 ± 0.02 mmol/L. In our research, crossbred German Fawn-improved goats during puerperium suffered from moderate hypocalcemia.
