ABSTRACT

Chemical constituents were determined in bone biopsies and blood of healthy fattened bulls and healthy dairy cows, and during subclinical metabolic osteopathies. The sample included bulls (n = 143, Holstein X Czech Spotted Breed) aged 10 - 15 months with a body weight of 300 to 450 kg and cows (n = 118, Czech Spotted Breed) aged 3 to 8 years and 2 to 20 weeks postpartum. The following groups were formed: Group I of bulls (control, n = 47) and Group I of cows (control, n = 57), each group from 4 herds included healthy animals with balanced rations; without clinical signs of osteopathies in other animals, Group II of bulls included animals without clinical signs of metabolic osteopathies (n = 96) proceeding from 8 herds with frequent cases of clinical rickets (21% to 50%) in other animals; and Group II of cows included animals without clinical signs of metabolic osteopathies (n= 61) from 5 herds, but with some cases of generalized osteopathies (10% to 18%) in other animals. Rations of Groups II were deficient in phosphorus, additionally, cows of Group II had a calcium excess. Samples of biopsies from the iliac crest and blood were taken once from all animals. Blood concentrations of Ca2+, inorganic P and acid-base values were no significant for the diagnosis of subclinical metabolic osteopathies. Significant decreases (P ‹ 0.05) were found in biopsies regarding ash weight/g fat-free dry matter (FFDM) and ash weight/cm3 spongy in animals of Groups II in comparison with Groups I. In bulls of Group II subclinical rickets was diagnosed as ash weight/g FFDM decreased. Osteomalatic and osteoporotic subclinical processes were diagnosed in cows of Group II, as ash/g FFDM and per cm3 of spongy was decreased. Chemical analysis of bone biopsies demonstrated the applicability on the diagnosis of subclinical metabolic osteopathies in bovines.
