Effect of Solar Radiation on Variations of Blood Constituents in Cattle

Abstract
The levels of several blood constituents (vitamin A and carotene, glucose, cholesterol, hemoglobin, creatinine, cholinesterase, serum glutaminlc-oxaloacetic transaminase, and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) in vitamin A deficient twin cattle exposed to solar radiation and no solar radiation under high ambient temperature conditions were not statistically different. However, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase varied directly with ambient temperature and may indicate heat stress predisposes an increased gluconeogenesis.
