Abstract
Heat load index (HLI) vis-à-vis changes in liver functions of Nali sheep from arid tracts of Rajasthan were evaluated. Apparently healthy male and female Nali sheep of different age groups from unorganized sector ( Churu and Sri Ganganagar districts, Rajasthan) were assessed. Obtaining of blood samples was carried out during environmental periods (EPs) of the year encompassing intervening EP (October-November); dry-hot EP(April, May and June); humid-hot EP (July, August and September) and cold EP (December and January). The range of average HLI values acquired during intervening or congenial period was 61.00-83.00. Dry-hot and humid-hot periods divulged greater values of HLI. Liver functions were assessed on the basis of serum OCT and serum GGT enzymes. The mean values of both the serum enzymes were observed to be significantly (p≤0.05) greater during dry-hot, humid-hot and cold EPs as compared to intervening or control mean value. Both the enzymes exhibited maximum activities during humid-hot EP and the maximum per cent change in the mean value of serum OCT was found to be +154.52, whereas maximum per cent change in the mean value of GGT was instituted to be +64.00, as compared to equivalent intervening EP values. Outcome has shown bang of humid-hot EP and alteration of liver functions greatly. This enlightened a change in functions of liver owing to HLI. It is important that pattern of change in liver functions coincided that of HLI. It can be concluded that abiotic stressors can impinge stimulation of liver activity. It is worth mentioning that Nali sheep of all physiological states were affected.
