In the present study, thehormone levels of the pregnant, non-pregnant ewe and rams of theAkkaraman Kangal and Morkaraman races were thin, with differentbody condition scores (<2, 3 to 3.5 and ?4). Apelin hormone levelwas determined by ELISA technique in blood serum samples of ewe'sJugular vein. It was determined that there was a difference in bodyscores between races and the interaction between race and body scorewas important (P<0.05).
