Evaluation of Some Biochemical Parameters In Saanen Goats Naturally Infected With Mycoplasma agalactiae

Abstract

Mycoplasma agalactiae in sheeps and goats causes significant economic losses worldwide. The disease can cause mastitis, arthritis, ophthalmitis and less commonly abortion. This study aimed to reveal what kind of changes the disease causes in routine biochemical parameters and PCT and CRP levels in naturally infected goats. The material of the study consisted of fifteen naturally infected with Mycoplasma agalactiae and nine healthy (control group) female goats in a private commercial enterprise. M. agalactiae was diagnosed by a growth inhibition test in milk and blood serum. Serum biochemical analysis was performed by autoanalyzer. In the statistical study conducted between the control and infected groups, a significant decrease was found in albumin levels and A/G ratio in the infected group, and a significant increase in globulin, chlorine and potassium levels. No significance could be determined in levels of ALT, AST, D.BIL, T.BIL, BUN, Creatinine, Urea, Glucose, Na, P, CRP and PCT. As a result, it was revealed that PCT is not an important biomarker in goats with Mycoplasma agalactiae.
