Cows diagnosed with an inflammatory gastrointestinal condition had significantly lower GAT coagulation times (p = 0.001) and plasma albumin concentrations (p = 0.002) when compared to cows with clinical mastitis, but higher plasma SAA concentrations when compared to cows with urogenital disorders (p < 0.001), as well as higher plasma haptoglobin (p = 0.001) and SAA concentrations (p < 0.001) when compared to cows with an inflammatory orthopedic problem. This evidence concerns the gene HP and mastitis.
