The veterinary record, 1991•europepmc.orgIn order to assess the usefulness of haptoglobin as a measure of the acute phase response
in cattle, the concentration of serum haptoglobin was estimated in the non-infectious
conditions of milk fever and ketosis, and in the infectious conditions of severe mastitis, acute
severe metritis, retained placenta and chronic endometritis. Mean haptoglobin
concentrations were normal in cattle with non-infectious conditions and chronic endometritis
but significantly increased in cattle with infectious conditions.
