Abstract
Ambient temperature associated variations in metabolic responses of adult healthy German Shepherd dogs were investigated. Blood samples were collected during moderate, hot and cold ambient temperature periods to harvest sera. Metabolic responses in the serum included cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, total proteins, urea and creatinine. They were determined by using the standard techniques. During hot ambience the mean values of serum urea and creatinine were significantly (p≤0.05) higher and mean values of cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and total proteins were significantly (p≤0.05) lower in comparison to moderate ambience. During cold ambience the mean values of serum cholesterol, glucose, urea and creatinine were significantly (p≤0.05) higher and mean values of triglycerides, and total proteins were significantly (p≤0.05) lower in comparison to moderate ambience. Mean values of cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and total proteins were significantly (p≤0.05) higher and mean values of urea and creatinine were significantly (p≤0.05) lower during cold ambience in comparison to hot ambience. Magnitude of percent variation was maximum for serum creatinine in both hot and cold ambiences. It was concluded that extreme hot and cold ambient temperatures affected the dogs which was evident in the form of variations in the metabolic responses to combat the environmental challenges.
