Description
Summary:The aim of this study *was to investigate some 'biochemical and microbiological values for the early diagnosis of subclinical mastitis in healthy and mastitic cows.<p> In the present study, a total of .30 Brown-Swiss cows, in >5-7 years old, supplied by Konya Animal Research Centre, were used as materials.<p> Blood samples were taken from the animals at the same time as the milk. All the biochemical and microbiological determinations were performed on the same day. ALP, albumin, Na and K values Were determined in the blood serum samples. The counting of the PMN, LDH, ALP, Na and K values were measured in the milk samples.<p> In the subclinical mastitic cows, milk LDH, ALP, Na ve K values were found statistically significant. Furthermore, the counting of the PMN increased significantly. Blood serum sample values were not found s Latistically significant.<p> As a result, it was useful to determine of the LDH, ALP, Na, K and the counting of the PMN in milk for the early diagnosis subclinic mastitis. Other tests, blood serum albumin, Na and K values were not found mainly important for the early diagnosis of the subclinic mastitis.
