Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi, Veteriner Fakültesi, Hayvan Hastahanesine TİGEM Altındere çiftliğinden daha önce getirilen kuzulardan bir tanesi hem klinik hemde patolojik olarak incelendi. Histopatolojide, kas liflerinde hiyalin dejenerasyonu ve nekroz saptandı. Daha sonra aynı çiftlikteki 22 kuzudan alınan kan örnekleri ise bazı antioksidan vitaminler (vitamin E, C, ve A) yönünden analizleri yapıldı. Beyaz kas hastalığı ile ilgili klinik belirti gösteren 7 kuzuda (Grup 1) serum vitamin E konsantrasyonlarının bayazkas hastalığından şüpheli (Grup 2) ve kontrol (Grup 3) grubu kuzulara kıyasla istatistik! olarak önemli derecede (p

Then, blood samples obtained from twenty two Iambs which were from the same farm were used for some antioxidant vitamins concentrations (vitamins E, C and A). Seven lambs (Group 1) showing clinical signs of s t iff-lamb disease had significantly (p<0.05) lower vitamin E levels compared to the animals in Group 2 (suspected of stiff-lamb disease) and Group 3 (control animals), ß-carolene concentration in the lambs showing clinical signs of the disease were also significantly (p<0.05) lower compared to the values obtained from control animals. However, vitamin C and retinol concentrations were not significantly different..
