Abstract: | This study was designed to investigate alterations in coagulation, and in biochemical and haematological parameters in cattle
with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP). In the study, 28 dairy cattle with TRP and 10 clinically healthy cattle (control)
of different ages and breeds were used. Cattle with TRP had prolonged prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and activated
partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Erythrocytopenia, thrombocytopenia and hyperfibrinogenaemia were detected in animals with
TRP. Furthermore, the serum concentrations of total protein, globulin and total bilirubin, and the activities of alkaline
phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were also high in cattle with TRP compared to those of the control
group. The serum concentrations of calcium were significantly low in the TRP group. The results of this study, therefore,
indicate that TRP causes significant coagulation abnormalities and biochemical and haematological alterations in dairy cattle. |
