Some serum biochemical , hormonal and protein profile studies on buffaloes and cattle suffering from mycotoxicosis and/or brucellosis
Abstract: In a private farm. The effects of mycotoxicosis and/or brucellosis were studied on buffaloes and cattle. from each of species (one month after abortion or normal parturition) twenty animals were divided into four equal groups. The first group was served as control animals, the second group was non-injected animals but the mycotoxins were detected in their serum. the third group was naturally brucella infected animals and the fourth group was both naturally brucella infected and mycotoxin poisoned animals. Brucellosis was identified serologically and from the clinical signs. Mycotoxicologkal, serological, hormonal serum protein electrophoretical and biochemical studies were carried out. Results indicated that the mycotoxins which were detected in serum of cattle and buffaloes are aflatoxin-Bl ochratoxin-A and fumonsin-Bi by a concentrations in buffaloes more than that in cattle. In contrast, the higher brucella liters were detected in cattle than that in - buffaloes. Mycotoxicosis and/or brucellosis could induced reproductive disturbances (due to the changes of serum progesteron. estrogen. triiodothyronin (T3) and thyroxin (T4) hormones). immunosuppression by mycotoxicosis in buffaloes (because of gamma globulinemia). metabolic disturbances (due to the increase of T3, T4 and total lipids), and liver dysunction in buffaloes (due to the increase of total bilirubin concentration and the activity of ALT enzyme). The mycoloxins should be clucked in regions of high incidence of brucellosis in order to controlling or diminuting the mycotoxicosis which is a predisposing stress factor for occurrence of infections by their immunodepressant properties.
