| Abstract |
ABSTRACT:The present study was carried out to investigate the possible hormonal, clinicopathological and immunological changes associated with ovarian dysfunction in Holstein - Friesian cows and has been carried out on 40 Holstein - Friesian cows from different farms. The animals classified into 3 groups; Group (A) includes 10 non pregnant cows with normal estrus, ovulation and post partum period (control group), Group (B) includes 15 cows with ovarian cyst (cystic ovarian group) and Group (C) includes 10 cows with smooth non functioning ovaries (smooth inactive group).
Blood sample were collided from all groups cows for determination of total and differential leucocytic count and serum for biochemical and immunological analysis. Lipogram of Holstein-Friesian cows affected with ovarian dysfunction showed significant increase in total cholesterol level in cystic ovarian group with non significant changes in smooth inactive groups. HDL-cholesterol levels recorded significant increase in cystic ovarian group, while in smooth inactive group non significant changes occurred. Calculation of LDL-cholesterol values recorded significant increase in cystic ovarian group and non-significant difference in smooth inactive group. Triglycerides values showed non-significant changes in all groups. Serum progesterone levels showed significant decrease in smooth inactive group. Oestradiol values recorded significant decrease in ovarian inactivity group with non significant changes in cystic ovary group. Serum Triiodothyronine (T3) level in Holstein-Friesian cows recorded significant decrease in both groups in comparison with control group. Non significant changes were observed in serum Cortisol, T4 and prolactin levels in both affected group. Regarding trace elements, Copper concentration recorded significant decrease in cystic ovarian and smooth inactive groups. Serum zinc levels showed significant decrease in smooth inactive groups and non significant changes in cystic ovarian group. Serum selenium levels recorded
