Abstract:
The present investigation was planned to appraise the Influence of seasonal variation on fractional excretion of electrolytes in Sirohi Goat from Southern Rajasthan. Kidney plays an important role in water retention. Kidney functions exhibit adaptational changes in handling water and electrolytes. Maintenance of healthy fluid status is the combined effect of circulatory system, kidneys and hormonal factors. The extremes of environmental conditions resulted in significant changes of kidney functions in goat in terms of significant variation in fractional excretion of electrolytes. In present investigation it was observed that the overall mean values of fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), potassium(FEK), chloride (FECl), calcium (FECa), phosphate (FEPO4) and magnesium (FEMg) were significantly (p≤0.05) higher during dry-hot, humid-hot and cold EPs as compared to intervening mean overall value. During humid hot, the per cent variation in the value of (FENa), (FEK), (FECl), (FECa), (FEPO4) and (FEMg) were found maximum (+92.96), (+62.58), (+74.17), (+91.60), (+72.77) and (+46.21), respectively. These results showed that important ions of the body like sodium, potassium and chloride divulged lesser modulations comparatively exhibiting the power of the physiological reactions to help the body to sustain in adverse climatic conditions.
