In this study, we aimed to determine the changes in some blood parameters (ALP, LDH, Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn) in clinically and radiologically rachitism detected foals and also to determine ihe neceserity of these trace elements in the specially growing khoncurpic foals.
Laboratory examinations in 16 foals with clinically determined rachitism growed khoncurpic. it was determined that; serum ALP and Zn levels were increased at a level of statistically unimportant and Ca. P and Fe levels were decreased at a level of statistically unimportant, but LDH and Cu levels were decreased at a level of statistically significant (p<0.05). At the radiological examinations of the patients, cortical thickness and demineraiizaiion were determined in the long bones.
Finally, in the rachitism observed foals, because of the mineral deficiency, it was believed (hat, suitable nutritiancy and vitamin-mineral requirement programs must be apply in the pregnancy and growing periods.
