Abstract

Summary The aim of this study was to determine the zinc and vitamin A concentrations in calves with dermatophytosis. Twelve calves infected with dermatophytosis and twelve clinically healthy calves were used in this study. Serum zinc concentrations were determined on a spectrophotometer using commercial kit. Serum vitamin A concentrations were measured spectrophotmeterically. Serum zinc and vitamin A concentrations were found to be significantly lower in calves with dermatophytosis than those of healthy controls. Our results shown that serum zinc and vitamin A concentrations were altered in calves with dermatophytosis.
