Concentration of Serum Electrolytes in Holstein Cows at Late Pregnancy, Parturition and Post Parturition Periods

Changes in serum electrolytes of holstein cows with periparturient diseases

Circulating metabolic biomarkers and hormones and their relationships at different pre- and post-parturition periods of Ghezel ewes

Information regarding metabolic profile in different physiological periods of ewes can assist veterinarians to monitor the herd health and productive performance. Furthermore, the relationships among the metabolic parameters can be used to detect the effect of each parameter on another one. Five clinically healthy adult Ghezel ewes were selected at 4 weeks before parturition and evaluated at 4 ...

Alteration of serum haptoglobin concentration in normal parturition and dystocia affected cows

This study was designed to investigate the alteration in serum haptoglobin (Hp) concentration in dystocia affected cows in comparison to those having normal parturition. Thirty cows included in this study, seventeen with normal parturition and thirteen with difficult parturition (dystocia). Blood samples, from cows that having normal parturition, were collected every three days during the last ...

Lymphocyte functions in overconditioned cows around parturition.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationships between body condition and lymphocyte functions in periparturient dairy cows. Thirty days before expected calving, 21 Holstein cows were categorized as thin (n = 6), medium (n = 8), or overconditioned (n = 7) based on body condition score (BCS). Blood samples were collected on 21, 14, 7, and 3 d before calving and on d 3, 7, 14, 21, 2...

Cerebral Lesions in Pregnancy and Parturition

treatment and prognosis, of a character by no means trivial. The position is also complicated by the fact that various functional neuroses, with symptoms superficailly resembling those of organic cerebral lesions, are liable to occur during both pregnancy and the puerperal state, e.g. affections of speech, apparent loss or impairment of vision, affections of hearing and paretic conditions are m...
