Comparative feed deprivation studies were carried out in donkeys, mules and ponies to assess the effect of short-term (3 days) total feed deprivation stress on various physiological and biochemical indices in them. Physiological responses and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated (luring control, feed deprivation and recovery periods). All the equids in the 3 groups were observed to be calm and active during feed deprivation period with significant reduction in water intake as compared to the pre-deprivation period, Rectal temperature, respiration and pulse rate decreased markedly in ponies, while in mule's only pulse rate decreased. Activity of alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) increased significantly during feed deprivation. while sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) decreased significantly only in mules while in donkeys and ponies their activities were almost same. Activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase und ponies respectively. Cholesterol and blood urea nitrogen increased significantly (P Not Available |
