Changes in white blood pictures and some biochemical parameters of dairy cows in peripartum period and early lactation

چکیده
Dairy cows are exposed to numerous hematological and biochemical changes, particularly in late gestation and early lactation. Various factors influence a metabolic profile in animals. Reliable indicators of metabolic profile and health status of dairy cows in peripartum period are haematological and biochemical parameters. A transitional period in dairy cows is followed by physiological, metabolic and nutritional changes. The way in which these changes happen and develop have a great influence on lactation performance, subclinical and clinical postpartum ailments and reproduction disorders, thus significantly affecting profitability (Block, 2010). Various metabolic and hormonal changes that Summary

Study on the effect of left displacement of abomasum (LDA) on serum minerals and biochemical changes in dairy cows
Minerals and some biochemical parameters determined from blood serum analyses in left displacement abomasum (LDA) affected and healthy dairy cows to evaluate the effect of displacement abomasum on mineral status, energy metabolism and liver function. Samples were collected from 60 affected cows and 60 healthy control cows matched with cases, based on herd, parity, and stage of lactation. Concen...
متن کاملAlterations of the electrocardiographic parameters in relation to circulating electrolytes and cardiac enzymes during different productive states of high producing Holstein dairy cows
BACKGROUND: Dairy cows undergo physiological changes during pregnancy and lactation and cardiovascular system may alter during these periods. OBJECTIVES: Understanding the physiological effects of production periods of dairy cows on heart electrical activities can aid to better monitoring the cardiovascular system in these animals. METHODS: Five multiparous Holstein dairy cows were studied from...
متن کاملLipid and lipoprotein profile changes in dairy cows in response to late pregnancy and the early postpartum period
In dairy cows the peripartum period involves endocrine and metabolic changes to compensate for the increased energy requirement aggravated by reduced feed intake. Cows adjust to the resulting negative energy balance with the mobilization of lipids from adipose tissue that, if excessive, could lead to many transition disorders compromising the offspring’s growth and well-being. The aim of this s...

The aim of the present study was to compare the occurrence and duration of clinical mastitis in different seasons, stages of lactation period and parities in a Holstein dairy farm in Iran. A retrospective epidemiological survey from April 2005 to March 2008 was conducted on 884 clinical mastitis cases of 7437 lactations. Data of each case including calendar-date of mastitis onset, days in milk ...
