The Incidence, Clinical, Haematological and Biochemical Measurement of Blood Parameters of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) in Cattle Bredding by the Public in Uşak Region

18342

The aim of this study was to determinate incidence along with possible changes in clinical, heamtological and blood biochemical parameters in cattle naturally infected with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR). A total of 296 cattle obtained from 21 different farms, vaccinated and unvaccinated against BVDV, aged from 1 months to 8 age, were evaluated. After virological determinations, animals divided into three groups created as: while 38 animals of 296vaccinated against IBR was composed to the first group and named Vaccinated and shown antibody (+), the second group was included 25 animals which no vaccinated against IBR, but shown antibody (+) and remaining 232 animals appointed as unvaccinated and shown no-antibody (-) against IBR. Hematological findings included neutrophil and monocyte percentage were the highest (P .05) along with lymphopenia in non vaccinated and antibody (+) group cattle. Blood AST, GGT enzyme activities and TP, CREA concentrations of the same group were determined higher (P 0.05) in non vaccinated and antibody (+) group cattle while mean ALB concentration was lower (P 0.05). In conclusion, evaluation of IBR infection along with heamtological and biochemical measurements would be more useful for veterinarians with regard to animal health in practice in cattle.
