The Levels of Some Biochemical Parameters in Anatolian Buffaloes With Trichophytosis

The aim of this study is to identify some biochemical parameters levels in Anatolian buffaloes with trichophytosis. The material occur forty Anatolian buffaloes divided in two groups, fifteen Anatolian buffaloes placed in control group and remaining twenty five Anatolian buffaloes served as experimental group, diagnosed as trichophytosis following clinical and microbiological examination. Serum produced from the blood taken out the vena jugularis of all the Anatolian buffaloes. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBil) and creatine concentrations in the serum were measured by using commercial kits. While Anatolian buffaloes with trichophytosis serum ALT and AST levels were found higher (p<0.05) than the control group. BUN and creatine levels were found higher (p<0.05) in the control group. Besides, there were no difference found between the groups regarding the TP, ALB, TBil and GGT concentrations. As a result, while trichophytosis in Anatolian buffaloes causes ALT and AST concentrations to increase, it decreases the BUN and creatine concentrations. It is thought that this situation takes place as a result of the bad effect of trichophytosis on liver
