The aim of this study was to compare the levels of serum IgG and biochemical parameters at the postpartum
period in dairy cows and heifers. Blood samples were taken immediately after birth from 48 cows, including
twenty-four heifers and 24 cows which experienced two or more deliveries. Serum IgG level was determined by ELISA
method and macromineral and biochemical parameters by using autoanalyzer. When serum biochemical parameters
and IgG levels of heifers and cows were compared; in heifers, serum ALP, LDH and phosphorus levels were significantly
higher (P<0.05) and IgG and Mg levels were significantly lower (P<0.05). In conclusion, it is determined that
there are significant differences in serum immunoglobulin G, macromineral and some biochemical parameters between
heifer and cows at the postpartum period and that it would be useful to consider these changes in postpartum period in
dairy cows.
