Biochemical parameters and mineral composition of blood of kalmyk horses

Abstract

In solving the problem of increasing the breeding prospects of breeding herds of farm animals, the main role is assigned to objective selection, selection according to a set of characteristics, including biochemical indicators of blood. In particular, the peculiarity of blood proteins is manifested in their high lability, which is used by cells of tissues and organs. They perform protective, transport, regulatory and catalytic functions, which indicates that there is a full exchange of proteins between tissues in the body. The main catalyst for these processes are enzymes. The activity level of many blood enzymes is controlled by heredity, but at the same time, the action of the gene itself in most cases is carried out through the action of enzymes. Aspartate aminotransminase (AST) and alanine aminotransminase (ALT) are transamination enzymes that determine the direction and speed of protein metabolism. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the catalysts in the regulation of mineral, protein metabolism between blood and tissues, including bone. A feature of the biochemical spectrum of the studied blood parameters of horses bred in breeding farms of Kalmykia was the unequal distribution in herds of animals with higher protein metabolism.
