The sick calves were divided into two groups as local (8omphalitis and 11 arthritis) and systemic (10 enteritis and10 pneumonia) inflammations. After routine clinical exami-nations of all the animals were performed, 8 ml of blood wastaken for blood analysis and biochemical analyses were per-formed.Results: Serum iron, total cholesterol (TC), high density li-poprotein (HDL) and albumin levels were significantly (p<0.05) lower in calves with local and systemic inflammationcompared to the control group. Serum urea and creatinine le-vels were significantly (p <0.05) higher in calves with syste-mic inflammation compared to the control group.Conclusion: As a result, it was evaluated that low iron, totalcholesterol, HDL and albumin levels may indicate to local andsystemic inflammation in calves.en10.15312/EurasianJVetSci.2020.269info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle362126121372956
