Blood indicators are used as a tool to diagnose metabolic disorders. The present work was conducted study the relationships among blood of lipomobilization and hepatic function in high-yielding dairy cows. Two groups Holstein cows were studied: 27 early lactation 14 mid from four different herds with similar husbandry characteristics Galicia, Spain. samples obtained measure beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), triglycerides (TG), activity aspartate transaminase...
Causes may be found in most cases of acute pancreatitis, however no etiology is by clinical, biological and imaging investigations 30% these cases. Our objective was to evaluate results from endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for diagnosis gallbladder microlithiasis patients with unexplained (idiopathic) pancreatitis.Thirty-six consecutive non-alcoholic diagnoses pancreatitis were studied over a five-year period. None them showed signs gallstones on transabdominal ultrasound or tomography. We...
This study was designed to evaluate the influence of type blood sample (serum or plasma) on essential and toxic element analysis in cattle. Paired plasma serum samples (n = 20) were acid digested, concentrations As, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Li, Mg, Mn. Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr Zn determined by inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The findings indicate that appear suitable interchangeable for determination most elements only exceptions are Cu which significantly lower...
Oxidative stress (OS) impairs organic function and is considered causally related to cellular senescence death. This study aims evaluate if the redox balance varies in relation age gender healthy cats. To quantify oxidative status of this species we determined damage as serum reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) total antioxidant capacity (SAC). In addition, used ratio ROM SAC a measure balance, with higher values meaning (oxidative index). Our results suggest that male population at risk when...
The objective of this work was to determine productive and fertility responses Holstein-Friesian heifers cows supplementation with extruded linseed soybean as sources polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Supplementation had a positive effect on profitability, significant increases in milk yield supplemented cows, but not heifers. Treatments no fat content, higher protein contents were observed supplementation. A conception rate found for heifers, cows. Fat containing PUFAs are recommended...
Abstract. Between the ages of 23 and 35 weeks, various serum metabolites enzymes were monitored in three 10-animal groups double-muscled Belgian Blue bull calves maintained a feedlot Galicia (NW Spain) on high-grain finishing diets that mainly differed whether grain used was predominantly maize (group M), barley B), or mixture approximately equal proportions MB). The parameters determined glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), total protein concentration (TSP), albumin, urea nitrogen...
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects two dietary supplements (monensin and a live yeast culture) on acid-base balance in steers maintained commercial feedlot system, considering over finishing productive cycle. Steers (no. =42) were allotted randomly one three groups: (1) control group (no supplementation, C), (2) monensin supplementation (MON), (3) Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 47 (SACC). Venous blood samples collected for measurement parameters l-lactate. Production...
