Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to compare the differences in the metabolic status of grazing ewes with live and stillbirth lambs for which no etiological infectious agent could be isolated. Group 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(live and stillbirth lambs); and group 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(live lambs); consisted of 20 multiparous Sakiz ewes. Blood samples were collected two times on the parturition day and the day fifteenth after parturition. In the first sampling time, triglyceride levels of group 2 were determined significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); higher than group 1. In the second sampling time, levels of magnesium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);, total protein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.01);, cholesterol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01);, and triglyceride insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); levels were found significantly higher in group 2 than group 1. However, significant decreases were observed in both calcium and triglyceride levels in group 2 between the two sampling times. The beta-hydroxybutyric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BHBA); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); levels were found significantly higher in the second sampling time than in the first sampling time only in group 1. Unlike the BHBA levels, a significant decrease was determined in both cholesterol and aspartate aminotransferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AST); levels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); in group 1 as the lactation progressed. Finally, we concluded that the metabolic status of group 2 is better than group 1, and it is important to the evaluation and follow-up of the metabolism in ewes with stillbirth without any etiological diagnose that couldn’t be determined.
