Kadar Mineral Tembaga dan Besi Dalam Bulu Serta Kaitannya Dengan Kasus Anemia Pada Kambing
ABSTRACT: A research had been
done to identify mineral content of Cu and Fe in plasma and hair related to
anemia case on female goat. Twenty female local goats at the age of 12-16
months taken from Kecamatan Darussalam and Kecamatan Baitussalam Kabupaten Aceh
Besar were applied. The goats taken have the criteria of hemoglobin rate (Hb)
and/or Packed Cell Volume (PCV) lower than normal level. Hair and blood were
sampled in this research. Hair samples were taken from top tail area, while
blood samples were taken from jugular vein. The result indicated that the
average rate of Hb was 77 ± 0.7 mg/dl and PCV was 191 ± 1.3%. The average rate
of Cu and Fe in plasma was 0.7 ± 0.16 and 67.8 ± 10.3 μg/ml, while in hair was
2.40 ± 0.511 and 315 ± 8.4 μg/g. The average rate of Cu in plasma was
categorized as below normal, while the average rate of Fe in the range of
marginal. Regression analysis showed that there was close correlation between
Hb rates and PCV as well as the correlation of Hb rate and Cu rate in hair.
However, there was no close correlation between Hb rate and Fe rate in hair.
The conclusion of the research implied that the amount of PCV and Cu rate in
hair relevant to the Hb rate in blood, and could subsequently predict anemia
case occurring on female goats.
