|
Serum Samples from adult of Korean cattles including 40 females and 20 males were analyzed by sodium salt precipitation and colorimetric method in the purpose of the determination of total serum protein, albumin, globulin, α-globulin, β-globulin and γ-globulin. The results obtained are summarized as follows:
1. Mean value of total serum protein showed a slight variation from 7.6%, and its regional and sex differences were not found to be significant.
2. Contents of albumin in serum showed lower level than that of globulin as tow level of A/G ratio 0.4 in proportion.
3. Contents of Scrum α-globulin showed 1.49w/v% and 1.51±0.46w/v% in each group of female, and 1.31±0.26w/v% in the group of male.
4. Contents of serum β-globulin showed 1.74w/v%, 1.95w/v%, in each group of female, and 1.82w/v% in the group of male.
5. Contents of serum γ-globulin showed 2.32w/v%. 2.30w/v% in each group of female, and 2.30w/v%, in the group of male.
A survey on the piroplasma infections for Canadian cows imparted from November 1968 to June 1969 to Kyungpuk, Korea was conducted by means of enumeration of erythrocytes and examination of Giemsa staining blood films from the cows and their calves.
The results obtained were summarized as follows:
1. So-called small type piroplasma (Theileria) infections were suspected in almost all of imported cows and their calves during their first pasture season and mixed infections with so-called large type piroplasma (Babesia) or Eperythrozoon wenyoni were detected in some cows and calves.
2. Fever, anorexia, depression, marked decreased milk production, sever anemia and jundice were observed in the imported cows with havy infection of so-called small type piroplasma (Theileria). And the piroplasma infection was most important cause of deaths of imported cows.
3. Sever anemia, malnutrition and poor growth were observed In many calves from imported cows with havy infection of so-called small type pirophosma(Theileria).
4. Good results were obtained in treating cattle acutely ill with so-called small type piroplasmosis by injection of pamaquine but they may need scond injection 3 to 4 weeks after the first treatment for reapperence of the piroplasma in the erythrocytcs.
