Abstract

<p>This study aimed to identify changes in blood compositions for pre-weaning calves that can help early detect diseases. We compared blood compositions of healthy calves with that of calves with digestive or respiratory disease before clinical diagnosis. Blood compositions of calves with digestive (n=10) or respiratory (n=17) disease sampled for three days before clinical diagnosis were used. Serum γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase levels in calves with digestive disease was significantly higher than that in healthy calves (P = 0.041). Serum Ca level and A/G in calves with respiratory diseases were significantly lower than those in healthy calves (Ca; P = 0.013, A/G; P = 0.029). There were three calves with digestive disease and six calves with respiratory disease with a value of more than 50μg/ml in haptoglobin concentration. Serum albumin and Mg level in winter were significantly higher than those in spring. These results suggested that the blood compositions that cause changes before clinical diagnosis differ depending on the type of disease.</p>
