Growth factors are thought to play a decisive role in the course of inflammatory processes. The aim of the present study was to characterize a potential interrelationship between the concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and somatic cell count (SCC) in normal milk, and to investigate the presence of these growth factors in mammary secretio...

Hypokalemia is a fatal metabolic, pathological and induced disorder of Potassium, manifested by low serum levels generally encountered in lactating animals during thermal-stress. Currently Potassium given normal saline intravenously very slowly. This method costly, risky laborious. To study the effect oral administration 12 g elemental 200 ml Propylene glycol orally hypokalemic cows. After esti...

Background: Ovarian cysts are among the diseases which cause reproductive failure and economic losses in dairy herds. High yelding dairy cattles are suseptable to reproductive failure caused by ovarian cysts, as a result of their exposure to stressful coditions during lactation. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to monitor metabolic profile tests in dairy cows with ovarian cysts in comparison with c...

The expression of CD14+ macrophages, CD4+, CD8+ lymphocytes and mRNA of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated in the endometrium of repeat breeders with subclinical endometritis [experimental group (EXP), n = 10] and healthy [control group (CTRL), n = 10] cows. The cows were selected on the basis of repeat breeding (3 unsuccessful inseminations), clinical and cytological exami...

we reportedhere data from a productivity veterinary service that was participatory planned and delivered on farms at the kanihari union belongs to mymensingh district of bangladesh. we used a set of five forms and a breeding calendar on farm visit once in a month to guide service delivery and acquisition of data and to keep the records on general cattle health, reproduction, udder health and fe...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated synovial and systemic plasma pharmacokinetic variables of marbofloxacin after a single intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) performed using two different tourniquets in clinically healthy, standing, non-sedated dairy cows. The authors hypothesised that the type of tourniquet used for IVRLP would influence the synovial fluid concentration of marbofloxacin i...

Our objectives were to perform a proof-of-concept study assess the association of prolonged inflammatory state (based on continually elevated haptoglobin concentration at end first week after parturition) with mineral, protein, and energy balance markers in 2 wk parturition, milk production 60 d lactation clinically healthy cows. We conducted cohort 1 herd west Texas that was milking Jersey Jer...

A 4-balance system for measuring the leg-load distribution of dairy cows during milking to detect lameness was developed. Leg weights of 73 cows were successfully recorded during almost 10,000 robotic milkings over a period of 5 mo. Cows were scored weekly for locomotion, and lame cows were inspected clinically for hoof lesions. Unsuccessful measurements, caused by cows standing outside the bal...

It is known that ionophoric antibiotics regulate ruminal fermentation, improve the utilization of feed protein, and prevent occurrence ketosis steatosis in ruminants. Ionophoric β-acids hops have a similar spectrum biological activity, is, they inhibit vital activity most gram-positive microorganisms rumen. Bacteria, like other living organisms, need vitamin E as an active antioxidant for cell ...

The objective of this study was to compare periparturient serum Ca dynamics (CaDyn) in cows with and without diseases early lactation. enrolled 1,949 from a commercial dairy farm northern Germany. Blood samples were drawn 7 d before expected calving date on 0, 1, 3, after analyzed for concentration. Cows monitored clinical hypocalcemia (CH), ketosis, left displaced abomasum (LDA), retained plac...
