Sole ulcers are one of the most severe pathologies causing lameness in dairy cows and are associated with abnormal behavior and impaired production performance. However, little is known about how or whether lameness caused by sole ulcers affects the cow systemically. This study compared hematology profile, leukocyte gene expression, and physiological responses [metabolite, cortisol, the endogen...

Cattle fasciolosis is quite widespread in the world, including Ukraine. Animal blood proteins, being close functional connection with proteins of various tissues, reflect changes that occur tissues and organs body during disorders their metabolic processes caused by pathological factors. The aim study was to investigate level total protein its fractions cows experimental fasciolosis. 12 4–5 yea...

Mineral elements are necessary components of the cells and tissues body. The imbalance magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium in blood serum animals affects function cardiovascular system, contributes development myocardial dystrophy. Due to intense functional activity, highly productive cows more prone this pathology, therefore, determination their content minerals during prenatal period is...

electrocardiographic (ecg) parameters and cardiac rhythms have been evaluated and published in different breeds of beef and dairy cattle but there is limited information regarding these parameters in healthy sheep. this study is aimed to investigate the ecg parameters in balouchi sheep. the ecg parameters including the amplitudes of p, q, r, s and t waves, duration of p, qrs and t waves and p-r...

Johne's disease (JD), caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is estimated to infect more than 22% of US dairy herds. Periods of immunosuppression may contribute to the transition from the subclinical to the clinical stage of infection. Understanding the effects of stressors such as parturition on the escalation of disease may provide information that will help to manage JD...

BACKGROUND Endometritis, which is one of the most common diseases in dairy cows postpartum, causes severe economic losses, including increased open days, calving intervals, and numbers of services to achieve conception. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the ultrasound method and its agreement with the endometrium cytology method, which is used to diagnose cytological endometritis in beef cows....

Data concerning the effect of probiotics supplementation on many parameters concurrently at the same cows are lacking. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae feeding on rumen, blood and milk parameters together in highproducing dairy cattle during the transition and early lactation period. Sixteen clinically healthy Holstein cows w...

mastitis in cattle is a serious problem which causes considerable economic losses in the dairy cattle herds. the aim of this survey was to identify mycoflorain milk of healthy, clinical and subclinical mastitis of lactating holstein dairy cows. milk samples of 154 holstein dairy cows were collected from 10 dairy cattle herds in suburb of mashhad-iran. the treatment groups included 104 lactating...

This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of serum thymidine kinase (TK) activity for diagnosing bovine leukosis cases for which clinical diagnosis was difficult ('BL with difficult diagnosis'). Median TK activity values in 24 'BL with difficult diagnosis' and 36 cattle for which BL was clinically confirmed by cytology findings of enlarged superficial lymph nodes ('clinically confirmed BL') ...
