Acute phase protein concentration in pharyngeal swabs from clinically healthy commercial dairy calves.
Mette Bisgaard PetersenNynne CapionPublished in: Acta veterinaria Scandinavica (2023)
SAA, Hp and LBP can be measured in saliva and TA from calves, but there was no correlation between the specific APP concentration in serum and pharyngeal swab or TA. There was a considerable technical variation in the sampling method for both pharyngeal swab and TA, and further validation of the methods is needed.
