ABSTRACT
Tajik J, Nazifi S, Rostami A, Khajoei L., Serum haptoglobin and amyloid A in cattle with liver abscesses, Onl J Vet Res., 17(11):620-626, 2013. Serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and amyloid A (SAA) in cows with hepatic abscess are reported. After clinical examination and before slaughter, jugular blood was taken from 435 cattle. At slaughter livers were excised and cut for presence of abscesses. We found 20 with abscesses but no significant differences were found between Hp and SAA with incidence or location of abscesses in the liver (p>0.05). However, we did find a significant correlation between serum Hp and SAA (r= 871, p<0.001). Age was not correlated with serum Hp or SAA.
