| Abstract |
ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to investigate the possible hormonal, clinicopathological and immunological changes associated with endometritis in Holstein - Friesian cows and has been carried out on 35 Holstein - Friesian cows collected from different farms. The animals classified into 2 groups; Group (A) includes 10 non pregnant cows with normal estrus, ovulation and post partum period (control group) and Group (B) includes 25 cows show sings of endometritis (endometritis group).
Blood sample were taken from healthy and affected cows for determination of total and differential leucocytic count and serum for biochemical and immunological analysis. Lipogram of Holstein-Friesian cows affected with endometritis showed non significant changes. HDL-cholesterol levels recorded significant decrease while LDL-cholesterol values recorded significant increase. Serum progesterone levels showed significant increase while Oestradiol values recorded significant decrease. Serum Triiodethyronine (T3) level recorded significant decrease and non significant changes were observed in serum Cortisol, T4 and prolactin levels. Regarding trace elements, copper concentration recorded non significant changes, serum zinc levels showed significant decrease and serum selenium levels recorded significant decrease. Endometritis group showed significant leucocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia and monocytopenia. Cows with endometritis recorded significant increase in total proteins, total globulins, alpha and gamma globulins with non significant changes in other parameter. Nitric oxide values recorded significant increase in endometritis group while serum lysozyme recorded non significant changes.
In conclusion, clinicopathological, hormonal and immunological findings associated with endometritis may help in the diagnosis of the disease.
