Blood Chemical Investigations on Liver Diseases of Holstein Cattle

젖소에서의 간질환 진단을 위한 혈액화학치의 조사

The incidences of liver abscess, fatty liver and fascioliasis were 11.9%, 23.2％ and 36.0%, respectively in 211 Holstein cattle observed at the slaughter house. Blood chemical values of them were measured. The results were as follows : 1. Liver abscess group was significantly higher than normal group in the levels of SDH, AST, TP, globulin and fibrinogen, but it was significantly lower than normal group in the levels of albumin and A/G ratio (p<0.01). 2. Fatty liver group was significantly higher than normal group in the levels of SDH, AST, OCT, TP and globulin, but it was significantly lower than normal group in the levels of albumin and A/G ratio (p<0.01). 3. Fasciolisais group was significantly higher than normal group in the levels of AST. TP and globulin (p<0.01), but it was significantly lower than normal group in the levels of albumin and A/G ratio (p<0.01).
