L-Lactate Levels Calves With Pneumonia

Abstract

Reliable prognosis and rational treatments are needed to reduce the economic loss of the Pneumonia in beef cattle industries. This study was conducted with the assumption that blood L-lactate concentration could be an important marker in assessing the prognosis and physiopathological status of respiratory diseases (literature supported). In this context, the L-lactate levels of 22 calves with pneumonia (under field conditions and without etiology) were evaluated. It was observed that 4 patients with L-lactate levels above 4 mmol / L did not respond to treatment and those with a L-lactate below 4 mmol / L remained clinically resolved.

Pnömonili Danalarda L-Laktat Konsantrasyonları

Öz

Besi sığırı işletmelerinde pnomonilere bağlı meydana gelen ekonomik kaybı en aza indirebilmek için güvenilebilir bir prognoz ve rasyonel sağaltım uygulamalarının yapılması gerekmektedir.  Kan L-laktat konsantrasyonun solunum yolu hastalıklarının prognozu ve fizyopatolojik durumunun değerlendirilmesinde önemli bir belirteç olabileceği varsayımı ile (literatür destekli) bu çalışma gerçekleştirildi. Bu kapsamda 22 pnomoni (etiyolojik sebepleri belirlenemeyen ve saha koşullarında yer alan) bulgusu gösteren besi hayvanlarının L-laktat düzeyleri değerlendirildi. L-laktat düzeyi 4 mmol/L üzerinde olan 4 hastanın sağaltıma yanıt vermediği, 4 mmol/L altında olan hastaların ise klinik olarak düzeldiği gözlemlendi.
