Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine whether Fe, Cu, Zn, Se and Co levels changed in calves naturally infected with coccidiosis. The study was conducted on a total of 30 calves, 20 with coccidiosis and 10 healthy (control) calves of different races, sexes, and ages ranging from 26 to 78 days, with complaints of bloody diarrhea, weight loss and tenesmus. Serum Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, and Co concentrations of calves with coccidiosis were determined to be significantly lower than in the control group and this decrease was statistically significant (P
