| Abstract | ||
A total number of 26 dairy friesian cows were used in this study. The animals were selected and classified into four groups. The first group was at late pregnancy and clinically healthy, the second group was clinically healthy also but the cows were recently parturated. The 3rd and 4th groups were cows suffering from subclinical fatty liver syndrome where cows of the 3rd group were at late p < /strong>regnancy and those of the 4th group were recently parturated. higher body condition score (BCS) was observed in both groups (II & IV). The analysis of blood serum revealed significant decreased levels of triglycerides (TG), total Lipids, total p < /strong>roteins and albumin in the diseased cows when compared with the healthy ones. Meanwhile a significant increase in the non esterified fatty acidy (NEFA), as well as Beta hydroxybutyrate levels (BHB) in diseased group < /strong>s was evident. In addition albumin/ globulin ratio (A/G) was also significantly decreased in the diseased groups. | ||
