Effects of Combination of Asetylmethionine, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E and Vitamin B12 on Some Clinical, Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Cattle

Öz

In this study, evaluation of the effects of asetylmethionine, l-carnitine, vitamin E and vitamin B12 combination on some clinical, haematological and biochemical parameters in cattle was aimed. Thirty two animals, which were affected by various stressors, clinically weakness body condition, dullness, drooping, anorexic and apathetic, were used in the study. A commercial product which contained asetylmethionine, l-carnitine, vitamin E and vitamin B12 was administrated 5 ml/100 kg b.w. once a day for 7 days via intramuscularly. General clinical examinations were made in the all animals before and after the drug applications and disorders of general condition and feather, apathy/signs of depression, appetite were scored (0=absent, 4=very severe). Also, blood samples were collected into empty and anticoagulant contained tubes for haematological and biochemical evaluations before and after the drug applications. Differential leukocyte and serum ALT, AST, total protein and total cholesterol levels for liver functions were determined. In addition, serum malondialdehit (MDA) and seruloplasmin levels were determined to evaluate antioxidant metabolism. After the study, microhaematocrit, red blood cell, white blood cells counts and total protein levels before and after treatment were found to be significant (p<0.05). But other haematological and biochemical parameters were not found statistically different (p>0.05). In the study, mean clinical score was determined 2.44±0.13 before the treatment and 0.26±0.07 after the treatment. In the evaluation of clinical examinations before and after the treatment, investigated clinical scores of 28 animals (87.5%) were found 3 and 4 before the treatment and less than 1 after the treatment. Satisfactory clinical recovery was considered in these animals.

Sığırlarda Asetilmetiyonin, L-Karnitin, Vitamin E ve Vitamin B12 Kombinasyonunun Bazı Klinik, Hematolojik ve Biyokimyasal Parametreler Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada asetilmetiyonin, l-karnitin, vitamin E ve vitamin B12 kombinasyonunun sığırlarda bazı klinik, hematolojk ve biyokimyasal parametreler üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmada, çeşitli stres faktörlerine maruz kalmış, klinik olarak genel vücut kondisyonu iyi olmayan, durgun, halsiz, iştahsız ve çevreye ilgisi azalmış 32 adet sığır kullanıldı. Hayvanlara asetilmetiyonin, l-karnitin, vitamin E ve vitamin B12 içeren bir ticari ürün (Metabolase Forte, FATRO-VETAŞ) 100 kg canlı ağırlığa 5 ml dozda, kas içi yolla günde bir defa olmak üzere 7 gün süre ile uygulandı. Hayvanların ilaç uygulanmasından önce ve sonra klinik muayenesi yapılarak, genel durum bozukluğu, kıl örtüsünde düzensizlik, çevreye ilgisizlik/depresyon, iştah durumları skorlanarak (0=yok, 4=çok şiddetli) değerlendirildi. Yine ilaç uygulaması öncesi ve sonrasında antikoagülanlı ve boş tüplere hematolojik ve biyokimyasal değerlendirmeler amacıyla kan alındı. Formül lökosit tablosu ile karaciğer fonksiyonları için serum ALT, AST, total protein ve kolesterol değerleri belirlendi. Ayrıca hayvanlardaki antioksidan metabolizma hakkında değerlendirme yapmak amacıyla serum MDA ve seruloplazmin düzeyleri tespit edildi. Çalışma sonunda hematokrit değer, alyuvar ve akyuvar sayıları ile total protein seviyesinde ilaç öncesi ve sonrasında istatistiksel olarak fark tespit edilirken (p 0.05). Çalışmada, tedavi öncesi 2.44±0.13 olan ortalama klinik skor tedavi sonrası 0.26±0.07 olarak bulundu. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası yapılan klinik değerlendirmelerde hayvanların 28 adedinde (%87.5) başlangıçta incelenen parametreler yönünden 3 ve 4 olan klinik skorların tedavi sonrası 1’in altına düştüğü belirlendi. Bu hayvanların klinik olarak iyi derecede iyileştikleri kabul edildi
