Evaluation of immune status of cows depending on productivity, season, physiological state and genotype

Donnik I.M., Shkuratova I.A., Isaeva A.G., Beykin Ya.B., Yakubenko E.V.

Summary

Authors studied the immune system of cows with a high level of productivity, depending on the physiological state of the genotype, season of the year for the possible development of the correction of system immunodeficiencies.

It was established that clinical signs of pathological processes, enlargement of the liver, symptoms of bone disease, urinary system diseases, cardiovascular and obstetric and gynecological diseases were identified in 60-80% of animals with high productivity. For early diagnostics of immunodeficiencies in cows with high level of productivity complex medical examination and immunological monitoring, testing the basic cellular and humoral immunity should be done at least once a year.

Key words: cows, dairy cattle, immune system, productivity, immune status, immune deficiency, genotype, physiological state.
