Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum albumin, glucose, calcium (Ca), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), �°ron (Fe), magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P) in cows with naturally infected with Th eileria annulata. Th e material of this study was a total of 15 cattle with diff erent ages, breeds and genders diagnosed as theileriosis according to clinical and microscopical examination. According to statistical analyses of biochemical parameters like serum glucose, Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg and P concentrations were detected signifi cantly low in cattle with theileriosis (P<0.001). In conclusion, the mineral substance levels were altered in cattle naturally infected with Th eileria annulata. Additionally, to the classical treatment of theileriosis, administering mineral supplements including Ca, Co, Fe, Cu, Mg and P to the animals is thought to be more useful in treatment.
