Abstract

Diagnostic indicators identified as acute-phase proteins react to infection or inflammation. Recognizing these disparities could provide valuable perspectives on the physiological alterations related to uterine infections in cows. This study was to compare the variation of serum acute protein in 18 healthy cows and 17 cows with uterine infection. We evaluate albumin, paraoxonase (PON), and haptoglobin (HP) as a few important APPs in cows. The relationship between variables was assessed using the coefficient of Pearson correlation, and the main effects were assessed using a mixed technique. In cows that later developed a diagnosis of uterine infections, albumin levels were shown to be reduced 31 days prior to scheduled calving, and these cows had an 82% accuracy rate in predicting the incidence of utesrine infections. Serum PON activity decreased postpartum in calves with uterine infections and in multiparous in nature cows with uterine infections, the quantity of HP raised at 9 DIM. Uterine infection-diagnosed cows showed decreased levels of serum albumin 31 days prior to giving birth, decreased PON activity nine days postpartum, and higher hip percentage in multiparous in their cows at 9 DIM in comparison to healthy cows.
