“…Changes in the concentrations of protein fractions during the last phase of pregnancy and early postpartum in dairy cows are less well documented. Grunberg et al (2011) observed lower concentrations of total serum proteins in cows around parturition than outside the parturient period and in the following phases of lactation, which may be associated with the transfer of immunoglobulins from the bloodstream to the mammary gland for the synthesis of colostrum (Roubies et al 2006). Piccione et al (2011;Piccione et al 2012b) found increasing values of α-globulins in dairy cows and ewes post-partum, which may be related to the higher concentrations of the acute phase proteins in response to the processes occurring around the time of parturition.…”

ABSTRACT:The evaluation of serum proteins and their electrophoretic pattern is a well-established laboratory method in the diagnosis of many diseases in humans, which has replaced the biochemical determination of the concentrations of albumin and the ratio of albumin to globulins. The measurement of serum proteins may be an important diagnostic tool for the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of various diseases and pathological processes. The results of serum protein electrophoresis can be one of the most useful diagnostic aids in a wide spectrum of diseases, including infectious and inflammatory diseases, renal or gastrointestinal disorders, immunodeficiency states, as well as paraproteinaemias caused by lymphoid or plasma cell neoplasia. Although many studies have been carried out to determine the usefulness of the determination of serum proteins and their electrophoretic pattern in various disease conditions and disorders also in animals, serum protein evaluation is still a relatively little-used diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine. In this article, methods of serum protein determination, their diagnostic utility in animal care practice and their different patterns in dysproteinaemias and paraproteinaemias are reviewed.

“…Recently, many authors (ALONSO et al, 1997;ROUBIES et al, 2006) have indicated that haematological and biochemical blood values do not exhibit merely a small degree of breed specificity. They are also statistically significant dependent on living conditions, region, husbandry and rearing location, and especially diet (VOJTA et al, 2011;ŠIMPRAGA et al, 2013).…”

Haematological and blood biochemical variables are key elements for routine assessment of animal health status, with implications in animal production and food safety. However, only reliable reference intervals of haematological and biochemical blood variables can provide the basis for accurate interpretation of the obtained blood results. Haematological and biochemical blood values critically dependent on living conditions, region, husbandry, rearing location, and diet. The aim of this study was to determine the reference intervals for selected important and informative haematological and blood biochemical variables for females of the Croatian indigenous sheep breed, Lika pramenka. We used several advanced statistical methods and assessed their applicability for determination of relevant reference intervals under conditions specific to indigenous sheep breeding. The results show that the reference intervals from the available literature are orientational but not adequate for the specific challenges encountered in raising indigenous breeds in their natural habitat. This was illustrated by the large number of clinically healthy animals with blood variable values falling outside the reference intervals given in the sources available previously.

“…Significant variations in the blood metabolic profile depend on many, genetic and non-genetic factors. One of the important factors is physiological status which affects on concentration of indicators in blood that are involved in the development of the blood metabolic profile (Antunovic et al, 2002;Roubies et al, 2006). The metabolic profile test that was by Payne et al (1970), has been used for assessing metabolic status and diagnosis of metabolic disorders in dairy herds (Kida, 2002).…”

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of physiological status on blood metabolic profile, enzymes and some hormones concentration in the blood of Egyptian buffalo. Investigations were carried out on 24 buffalo (12 pregnant buffalo cows on the 60th day prior to parturition and 12 lactating buffalo cow from 10th day of lactation during winter feeding season). The buffalo cow was average 3 years old and healthy. Buffalo were fed according to Mehlet Moussa Experimental Station which belongs to Animal Production Research Institute, north part of the Nile Delta, Egypt. The present study indicated that there was drop in calcium, sodium, phosphorus and potassium levels during early stage of lactation than pregnant period buffaloes, the opposite trend recorded in chloride levels. The concentrations of plasma glucose, urea, cholesterol, triglycerides and total protein were higher during pregnant period than in lactation period, the opposite trend recorded in creatinine level. The present study indicated that, the blood enzymes (AST, ALT and AlP) activities were insignificantly higher during pregnant period than in lactation period. The concentrations of plasma IGF-1, thyroid hormones and leptin were higher during pregnant period than in lactation period.
