Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the effects of two different diets (sand eels or saurels) on the serum protein electrophoretic patterns of Oriental White Storks held in captivity. The tests were performed on two groups of storks according to the diet (group 1 and 2). Twenty-two (group 1) or twenty-nine (group 2) storks were included. The values of complete blood count (CBC), serum biochemistry profiles, protein fractions (albumin, ${\alpha}$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin, and ${\gamma}$-globulin), and lipoprotein (high density- [HDL] and low density lipoprotein [LDL]) were compared between samples obtained during two groups (p < 0.05). The ${\alpha}$-globulin fraction was decreased and the ${\beta}$-globulin fraction was significantly increased in samples obtained from group 1 compared to those obtained from group 2. In group 1, the concentration of LDL was also significantly increased compared to that of group 2. In conclusion, we confirmed that the ${\beta}$-globulin fraction was significantly elevated in storks fed sand eels.

이 연구는 사육황새에 급여하는 먹이(양미리와 전갱이)의 차이에 따른 혈청 단백질 분획의 변화를 평가하기 위한 것이다. 사육황새를 먹이에 따라 두 그룹(그룹 1과 2)으로 나누어 연구를 진행하였다. 그룹 1에는 22마리, 그룹 2에는 29마리의 황새가 포함되었고, 각각 양미리와 전갱이를 급여하였다. 두 그룹에서 전혈구검사, 혈청화학검사, 단백질분획검사(${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$- 및 ${\gamma}$-글로불린) 및 지단백질 분획검사(HDL 및 LDL)를 진행하고 결과를 비교하였다. 검사 결과 그룹 1에서 ${\alpha}$-글로불린의 감소와 ${\beta}$-글로불린의 증가가 유의적으로 관찰되었다. 그룹 1에서 LDL의 농도는 그룹 2에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. 결과적으로 양미리를 급여한 사육황새에서 ${\beta}$-글로불린의 증가가 LDL의 증가에 의한 것임을 확인하였다.
