Overview

Observational study analyzes lactation effects on procalcitonin and dimethylarginines in dairy cattle, highlighting biomarker stability.

Key Points

  • Biomarkers remained stable across different lactation stages in healthy dairy cows, suggesting no need for distinct reference ranges.
  • Levels of procalcitonin, protein carbonyl content, and dimethylarginines did not show significant changes over lactation time points.
  • Data were collected from 21 clinically healthy Holstein-Friesian cows at three different days in milk, using validated analytical methods.
  • Findings indicate that while oxidative stress is present during lactation, the selected biomarkers do not fluctuate significantly.
