Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the serum lipid and protein profile as well as liver enzyme levels in neonatal calves with diarrhea. The study included 40 calves, 30 with diarrhea and 10 healthy (control). Calves with diarrhea were divided into three groups based on clinical findings: mild, moderate, and severe. Blood samples were taken from the vena jugularis after routine clinical examinations of the calves to determine the lipid profile, protein profile, liver enzyme levels, and glucose levels. Serum total cholesterol (TC) (P<0.01), HDL (P<0.01), and LDL (P<0.05) levels were all found to be lower in the calves in the mild, moderate, and severe groups compared to the control group. No significant difference in TP and ALB values was found between the groups. Additionally, serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (P<0.01), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and glucose (P<0.05) levels were also greater in calves with diarrhea compared to the control group. The current study concluded that there was no change in the protein profile in calves with neonatal diarrhea, but the lipid profile was negatively affected and liver function was impaired, and the impairment in liver function increased as the clinical severity of the disease increased.
