Corticosteroid concentrations in maternal plasma from pregnant sheep and goats increased during the preoperative starvation period, anaesthesia and surgery, and reached maximum values when the animals regained consciousness. During the operation the vaginal temperature fell 2-3 degrees C. Postoperatively, corticosteroid levels took two to four days, while glucose concentrations took five to seven days in sheep and 10-12 days in goats to return to prestarvation levels. Feed intakes returned to prestarvation levles three to four days after operation in sheep and five to seven days after operation in goats.
怀孕绵羊和山羊母体血浆中的皮质类固醇浓度在术前饥饿期、麻醉和手术期间升高，并在动物恢复意识时达到最大值。手术期间，阴道温度下降2至3摄氏度。术后，绵羊的皮质类固醇水平需要两到四天恢复到饥饿前水平，而葡萄糖浓度则需要五到七天；山羊的皮质类固醇水平需要两到四天，葡萄糖浓度需要10至12天恢复到饥饿前水平。绵羊术后三到四天采食量恢复到饥饿前水平，山羊术后五到七天采食量恢复到饥饿前水平。
