this study was designed to evaluate serum and milk amyloid a (saa) as an inflammatory indicator in inflammatory diseases. twenty clinically healthy cows and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases were selected for this study. blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of both healthy and diseased groups. milk samples were taken from four quarters of both groups. milk samples of f...

This study was designed to evaluate serum and milk haptoglobin (Hp) as an inflammatory indicators for the diagnosis of diseases in cattle in Fars province of Iran. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of 20 clinically healthy cattle and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases. There were significant differences in serum and milk Hp between clinically healthy cattle and disea...

AIM The present study was aimed to study the use of cell counts as an early indicator of mammary health. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk and blood cell counts were estimated from 8 healthy, 8 subclinical (SCM), and 8 clinically mastitis (CM) groups of Karan Fries (KF) cows. RESULTS Total leucocyte counts and neutrophil percent in blood and milk somatic cells and milk neutrophil percent of health...

Milk and blood serum from clinically mastitis infected, subclinically mastitis infected and healthy Friesian cows (15 samples from each of 3 groups) were evaluated for macrominerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). The milk from cows infected with subclinical mastitis revealed a significant decrease in potassium (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in sodium and phospho...

Parasitic infections can be extremely problematic for animals and humans. Host-parasite relationships may be different between species. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Haptoglobin (Hp), Serum amyloid-A (SAA), Alpha -1- acid glycoprotein (AGP), Albumin (ALB), Total protein (TP), Globulin (GLB), Malondialdehyde (MDA), and Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) following natural infect...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration of these acute phase proteins(serum amyloid a, milk amyloid a and serum haptoglobin) and alteration in hematological values in some inflammatory diseases in dairy cattle. fifty-six holstein dairy cows with some inflammatory diseases were used in this study including: subclinical mastitis, hematological infections (theileriosis and an...

Blood and milk concentrations of the acute phase protein lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) were evaluated in cows with naturally occurring mastitis. Blood and milk samples were collected from 101 clinically healthy dairy cows and 17 dairy cows diagnosed with clinical mastitis, and the LBP concentrations of the samples were measured by an ELISA. Concentrations of LBP were greater in the b...

ThirtyFrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. Polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (LTF) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results showed that LFT gene pro...
