Abstract |
The objective of this study is to compare the anti-inflammatory effect
of Ketoprofen drug and Hedera helix leaf extract on clinical and
biochemical parameters in pneumonic calves. In this regard, a total
number of 30 Holstein calves from 1 to 4 months, diagnosed with
pneumonia, were identified and randomly assigned to the two groups,
i.e., treatment groups 1 and treatment group 2, each containing had 15
calves. The calves of the treatment group 1 and 2 were treated with
lincospectin antibiotics for 5 days. In one group, we used Hedera
helix leaf extract and in the other group, we used Ketoprofen as
anti-inflammatory medicine. Clinical symptoms were monitored on days 0
and 4 and blood biochemistry was examined. Regarding the clinical
symptoms, both drugs showed the significant reduction in temperature,
respiratory rate, and nasal discharge at the end of the study compared
with the starting day. Ketoprofen and Hedera helix leaf extract
were effective in reducing rectal temperature,mucosal hyperactivity,
coughing after stimulation and hoarse respiratory sounds. On the other
hand, Ketoprofen had a greater effect than the Hedera helix leaf
extract (P<0.05). Concentration of albumin, fibrinogen and total protein
were significantly decreased after the use of Hedera helix leaf
extract and Ketoprofen (P<0.05). This decrease was higher in the
Ketoprofen group (P≤0.05).
Hedera helix leaves extract had good effects on reducing symptoms
of calves pneumonia and could be used as a antiinflammatory drug in calf
pneumonia.
