Description
25 cattle with foot disease were compared with 10 healthy ones. The Sunderman and Nomoto techniques were used to determine the ceruloplasmin levels. The serum copper concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The average levels of copper and ceruloplasmin found in the serum of the cattle with foot diseases and healthy cattle were 0.844 Cu ppm and 0.920 Cu ppm and 23.86 mg/dl ceruloplasmin and 26.67 mg/dl ceruloplasmin, respectively. The differences were not significant. The relationship of the activity of the ceruloplasmin and the concentration of blood copper in the 35 cattle (control and cattle with foot diseases) showed a correlation coefficient of 0.751
