This study aimed to compare three ways of FSH administration [single-dose subcutaneous (sc) using an adjuvant, single-dose epidural without an adjuvant and the conventional intramuscular (i.m) repeated decreasing doses] on blood FSH levels and superovulation response. Holstein cows (n:18) were divided into three groups for the superovulation procedure (n6). The animals in group (1) received intramuscular (im) decreasing doses of FSH (Stimufol, 500 mu g porcine FSH and 100 mu g porcine LH, Ulg FMV, Liege, Belgium) at 12-h intervals for 4 d. The animals in group (2) received FSH (500 mu g) into ...More
This study aimed to detect changes in clinical parameters, biochemical and serum cytokine levels in calves with naturally occurring sepsis. In the study, 34 calves diagnosed with sepsis according to clinical and laboratory results and 7 calves deemed to be healthy according to clinical and laboratory results were used. The blood sampling was performed by jugular venapuncture for hematological and biochemical analysis and the determination of cytokine levels. Significant changes were observed in the clinical parameters of calves with sepsis. Serum concentrations of IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a ...More
The immune system of the cow is kept strong to protect the cows from mastitis, which causes economic losses for dairy cattle herds. Cellular immunity, especially, plays an important role as a first-line defense system. In the case of inflammation, cytokines play a decisive role in monitoring this process. In this study, the relationship between somatic cell count (SCC) and cytokine (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interferon gamma, and interleukins TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma,IL-2, -4, -5, and -10, respectively) concentrations in milk were determined. It was decided to support the humoral and cellular a ...More
