A brief Analysis of the Health Status of Dairy Cows by Determining Serum Biochemical Parameters

Abstract

The research was carried out to follow the state of health of dairy cattle by determining the biochemical parameters in the serum. Animals of the BNR breed from a farm in the Moldova area were studied and blood samples were collected, later the following serum parameters were analyzed: albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol, gamma-GT, total proteins, triglycerides, and urea. At the same time, the obtained milk production was correlated with the biochemical parameters of bovine serum, thus there were distinctly significant positive correlations between milk production and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), respectively urea, and an insignificant correlation was between milk production and albumin. Following the biochemical analyses, the liver parameters were very slightly above the limit provided by the specialized literature.
