Özet: In this study, serum selenium (Se), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) values were investigated in 20-30 day-old lambs born from healthy akkaraman sheep raised in pasture conditions in Siverek and Muş regions, not given supplementary feed and showing no clinical symptoms. 18 lambs, 9 females and 9 males, and 36 lambs in total were used for research. Mineral matter analyzes were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. While there was no difference between the regions in terms of serum copper levels (P>0.05); significant differences were found between serum Se and Co values (P<0.05). While average serum selenium level was found to be high in both regions, serum Cu level was found to be lower than the reference values. Serum Co value was found between normal values in both Siverek and Muş. As a result, it was concluded that the lambs should be given Cu support during pasture-based breeding in Siverek and Muş.
