Klinik Olarak Pnömoni Tespit Edilen Keçilerde Serum Amiloid-A Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

In this study, 20 goats between the ages of 0-24 months were used. After clinical, systemic, and hematological examinations, goats were divided into two groups. Clinically diagnosed with pneumonia (n=10) were the study group, whereas healthy goats (n=10) were formed as the control group. Auscultation was performed in the clinical examination. Blood samples from Vena jugularis in the hematological study, White Blood Cell (WBC), Red Blood Cell (RBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (Hct), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH); Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) concentrations were performed. In blood serum, Total Protein (TP), Albumin (ALB), Serum Amyloid-A (SAA) concentrations were measured. As a result, the values of WBC and SAA are statistically higher in goats with pneumonia compared with the control group. As for RBC, Hb, Hct, MCV, MCH, MCHC, TP, ALB concentrations, no statistical difference was found between the two groups. As a result, we think SAA is the most valuable parameter to evaluate the course of the disease and prognosis along with hematologic, biochemical, and clinical findings in veterinary medicine.

Efficacy of Paromomycin Sulphate for the Treatment of Cryptosporidiosis in Goat Kids

“…In a study on goats naturally infected with paratuberculosis, SAA concentration was reported to increase (Sevgisunar and Şahinduran, 2021). Demirbas and Kabu (2021) determined in their study on pneumonic goats that SAA concentration was higher in the pneumonic group than the healthy goats. Kabu et al, (2023), SAA and Hp concentrations were found high in lamb with diarrhea due to Cryptosporidium.…”
