On the variations of the hemoglobin, plasma protein and hematocrit values on the course of the cattle's premonition

Abstract

The hemoglobin, total plasm protein and hemotocrit contents of 20 animals of the Red Danish breed, were determined during the premonition against cattle plasmosis. It was emphazised a pronounced fall in the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, namely during the phase of anaplasmosis attack. On the other hand the total protides level showed no remarkable variation in the course of the disease. The authors suggest that the presence of cattle plasmosis in this country is the most important factor which would explain in part, either the low adaptability or the low hemoglobin content and the reduced number of hematias in imported cattle.
