Abstract
This study was carried out to determine serum haptoglobin levels of pregnant cows with complications during pregnancy. A total of 28 animals were included in the study, 14 cows with healthy birth and 14 cows with complicated pregnancies, whose birth processes were followed in the same farm. Blood samples were taken from the vena jugularis into yellow capped biochemistry tubes at the 6th month of their pregnancy. Serum albumin, globulin and total protein measurements were made with an autoanalyzer. Determination of haptoglobin levels was measured in an ELISA device using a commercial test kit. Serum haptoglobin levels were found as 226.64±24.09 µg/ml in pregnant cows with complications and 46.71±2.98 µg/ml in healthy pregnant cows. Total protein 8.52±0.28-7.58±0.12 g/dL, respectively; albumin 3.31±0.08-3.34±0.04 g/dL; globulin 5.21±0.24-4.25±0.15 g/dL; alb/glb 0.65±0.03-0.80±0.04 was found to be in complicated and healthy pregnant. Serum haptoglobin, total protein, globulin and alb/glb values were statistically significant in the complicated pregnancy group compared to the control group (p
