METHOD TO FORECAST DEVELOPMENT OF TOXIC FORM OF DYSPEPSIA IN NEWBORN CALVES WITH INITIAL SYMPTOMS OF DYSPEPSIA Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: veterinary science.

SUBSTANCE: in newborn calves with initial dyspepsia symptoms blood samples are taken to identify aggregative activity of platelets using solutions of ADP, collagen, ristomycin and adrenalin as inducers by mixing of 0.1 ml of plasma rich in platelets and standardised by platelets quantity on a slide plate with 0.1 ml of one of aggregating agents and identifying time of platelet aggregates appearance in the form of whitish grain visible with the naked eye. The reference is the average result of identified aggregation of platelets in 10 healthy newborn calves. If platelets aggregation acceleration over 7% compared to the reference is detected in newborn calves with initial dyspepsia symptoms, development of toxic dyspepsia is forecasted. Early forecasting of toxic dyspepsia development in newborn calves has signification practical value, since it makes it possible to more thoroughly treat animals.

EFFECT: reduced loss of calves sick with dyspepsia and improved economic efficiency of stock raising.
