Serum enzyme levels were determined in goats of Marwari
breed belonging to farmers’ stock of arid tract of Rajasthan state,
India. The animals were grouped into healthy and stressed comprising of
gastrointestinal parasiticised, pneumonia affected, and drought
affected. The serum enzymes determined were sorbitol dehydrogenase,
malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate
dehydrogenase, ornithine carbamoyl transferase, gamma-glutamayl
transferase, 5’nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, arginase, and
aldolase. In stressed group the mean values of all the enzymes
increased significantly (p≤0.05) as compared to respective healthy mean
value. All the enzymes showed highest values in the gastrointestinal
parasiticised animals and least values in the animals having pneumonia.
In gastrointestinal parasiticised animals maximum change was observed
in G-6-Pase activity and minimum change was observed in malate
dehydrogenase mean value. It was concluded that Increased activity of
all the serum enzymes was due to modulation of liver functions directly
or indirectly.
