| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>The aim of this study was to determine the effects of
local and systemic inflammatory status on iron metabolism
and lipid profile in calves.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of 56 calves, 39 sick and 17
healthy, were used in the study in different races and genders.
The sick calves were divided into two groups as local (8
omphalitis and 11 arthritis) and systemic (10 enteritis and
10 pneumonia) inflammations. After routine clinical examinations
of all the animals were performed, 8 ml of blood was
taken for blood analysis and biochemical analyses were performed.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Serum iron, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein
(HDL) and albumin levels were significantly (p
<0.05) lower in calves with local and systemic inflammation
compared to the control group. Serum urea and creatinine levels
were significantly (p <0.05) higher in calves with systemic
inflammation compared to the control group.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> As a result, it was evaluated that low iron, total
cholesterol, HDL and albumin levels may indicate to local and
systemic inflammation in calves. |
