The main aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the relationships between metabolic parameters, acute-phase proteins, and the outcome of treatment of Staphylococcus aureus subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. Serum metabolic parameters and milk haptoglobin were measured in two groups: S....

The aim of present study was to evaluate the precision of plasma haptoglobin (HPT), serum iron (Fe) and plasma transferrin (Tf) concentrations as biomarkers of the severity of acute mastitis (AM) in cows. Fourteen Holstein Friesian cows with AM were divided into severe (n=8) and mild groups (n=6)...

Autonomic nervous function evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) and blood characteristics were compared between Holstein Friesian cows that developed postpartum fever (PF; n = 5) and clinically healthy (CH; n = 6) puerperal cows in this case-control study. A cow was defined as having PF when...
