Abstract:

 

Hyperlactemia is closely related to the severity of the disease. Besides, the use of lactate as a biomarker has been increased in
human medicine and recently in veterinary medicine as well. The aim of this study was to investigate the plasma lactate level and
its relationship with survival in single, twin, triplet and quintuplets born Chios lambs. Blood samples were taken from single, twin,
triplet and quintuplets lambs before sucking colostrum within 15 minutes after birth.
Differences in the concentaration of plasma lactate, total protein, albumin and triglyceride were determined and there was significant
differences between the groups, however no statistically significant difference was found between the groups in glucose,
BUN, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT and cholesterol levels.
In this study, high plasma lactate levels were detected in single, twin, triplet and quintuplets born Chios lambs . Plasma lactate
levels are an important predictor for the mortality in an emergency veterinary clinic and there is a correlation between survival
and plasma lactate concentration. It can be concluded that the increased number of offsprings produced in one litter and lamb
deaths were found to be correlated with the plasma lactate concentrations. Monitoring of plasma lactate concentrations can be
recommended for the prognosis lamb survival.
