The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of the abnormal blood values of nonestrified fatty acids (NEFA), glucose, and aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) in cows after parturition, as well as a retrospective analysis of the culling and fertility in groups of cows characterised by increased values of NEFA and/or AspAT. The study involved 164 dairy cows (primiparas and multiparas) with a milk yield of 6,800 to 8,804 kg/305 days of lactation. The control group included cows with an NEFA concentration <500 µEq/L and AspAT activity <106 IU/L. Group A only consisted of cows with NEFA≥500, group B of cows with AspAT activity ≥106 IU/L, and group C of animals with higher values in both these indices. The greatest number of cows subject to early culling came from the groups B and C (84% in total). The group B had the highest index of culling due to infertility (50%), as well as general culling (72%). The most unfavourable prognosis concerned the cows, which demonstrated an increase in the AspAT concentration without any apparent intensification of lipolysis.
The investigations were carried out in one farm during 3 years. Clinical mastitis was treated with the following drugs: 1) Pathozone (55 quarters), 2) Nafpenzal MC (69 quarters), 3) Vetimast (24 quarters), 4) Masticort PS (32 quarters), 5) Syntarpen (78 quarters), 6) a water solution of procainic penicillin (2 min iu) with 1,0 g of streptomycin in 100 ml of distilled water (311 quarters), 7) a water solution of 1,2 ml iu of procainic penicillin (270 quarters), 8) a water solution of streptomycin 1,0 g (16 quarters), 9) a water solution of ampicillin 0,5 g (11 guarters), 10) penicillin procainic (600 000 iu) with acetylosalicylic acid (200 mg) in a 5.0% glucose solution (105 quarters), 11) penicillin (600 000 iu) with chlormethine (0,2 mg) in a 5,0% glucose solution (157 quarters), 12) oxytetracyline (1,0 g) with acetylosalicylic acid (200 mg) in a 5,0% glucose solution (79 quarters), 13) oxytetracyline (1,0 g) with chlormethine (0,2 mg) in a 5,0% glucose solution (68 quarters), 14) neomycin (0,5 g) with acetylosalicylic acid (200 mg) in a 5,0% glucose solution (36 quarters), 15) erytromycin (0,6 g) with chlormethine (0,2 mg) (13 quarters). Pathozone and combinations of antibiotics with acetylosalicylic acid, chlormethine and glucose were intramammary infused only once. Other drugs were applied three times every 24 hr. The effect of therapy established on clinical examinations, bacteriological tests and cell counts in milk was evaluated on the 14th day after treatment. The percentage of cured quarters was as follows: 1 — 65,5%, 2 — 78,3%, 3 — 50%, 4 — 62,2%, 5 — 64,1%, 6 — 66,6%, 7 — 65,9%, 8 — 62,5%, 9 — 72,7%, 10 — 71,4%, 11 — 66,9%, 12 — 79,7%, 13 — 77,9%, 14 — 72,2%, 15 — 69,3%. Quarters treated with combinations of antibiotics with acetylosalicylic acid or chlormethine once were reinfected during the 3-month period half as often as those treated with other drugs.
The objective of the study was to assess ratio of oxidation to antioxidation in the blood of horses in selected equine diseases. The study was conducted on 47 Polish half-breed horses (36 mares, six stallions, and five geldings) aged 2 to 16 years. Nineteen mares were diagnosed with endometritis, seven horses with symptoms of colic, and six with upper respiratory tract infection. The remaining clinically healthy horses (n=15) served as control. The following parameters were measured: oxygen metabolism in neutrophils using a chemiluminescence (CL) method, total antioxidant status (TAS) of blood plasma, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase activity in whole blood. The results demonstrate increased CL of neutrophils in mares with endometritis, as well as in horses with symptoms of colic. This finding was associated with decreased values of SOD, GPx, and TAS (chiefly in mares with endometritis), which suggests oxidative stress. These results underscore the importance of a broader use of oxidant/antioxidant status assessment in studies of the pathogenesis and pathomechanisms of equine diseases.
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the values of the percentage ratio of ammonia nitrogen to urea nitrogen (%N-NH₃:N-CO(NH₂)₂) and other liver function indices and metabolism disorders in cows. The study was carried out in five farms and included 41 dairy cows, both primiparous and multiparous, aged 3-8 years. The average milk production of multiparous cows in previous lactation was 9122 kG milk/305 days. Blood samples for examination were collected twice between 0-30 days after parturition. Concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT), total cholesterol (Chol), glucose (Glu), urea nitrogen (N-CO(NH₂)₂) in serum and ammonia (NH₃) in plasma were determined. It was discoevered that an increase in AspAT activity (AspAT > 106 IU/L) in serum during the first days after parturition is significantly related to the occurrence of diseases of metabolic origin. Higher values of %N-NH₃:N-CO(NH₂)₂ index (p < 0.05) were in =3 lactations cows with an increased AspAT activity. A significant correlation was observed between %N-NH₃:N-CO(NH₂)₂ and NH₃ (r = 0.76 p<0.001) and N-CO(NH₂)₂ concentrations (r = -0.60 p < 0.001) compared with a lack of relationship between N-CO(NH₂)₂ and NH₃ (r = -0.02 p > 0.05). The ureagenesis disturbances were three times more frequent in older cows (=3 lactation). The cows with an increased AspAT serum activity (>106 IU/L) and %N-NH₃:N-CO(NH₂)₂ index value (>0.73%) demonstrated higher concentrations of NH₃ and lower concentrations of N-CO(NH₂)₂ in the blood (p < 0.05). The obtained results indicate that an increase of %N-NH₃:N-CO(NH(NH₂)₂ coincides with the direction of biochemical blood indice changes characteristic for excessive lipid mobilization. However the evaluation of the ureagenesis disturbances and the dangers of ammonia accumulation in blood is possible only on the basis of NH₃ and N-CO(NH₂)₂ assessment in blood.
