| Popis: | The type 1 abomasal ulcer (AU1) does not have specific clinical signs, so there is a need to identify some early biochemical markers for its diagnosis in cattle and buffaloes. The plasma gastrin is re-ported to reflect the gastric mucosa damage but its utility for the diagnosis of AU1 in buffaloes has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to investigate the test performance of plasma gas-trin to distinguish between healthy buffaloes and the buffaloes with AU1. Twenty-three buffaloes with AU1 and six buffaloes without any abomasal ulcer were used. The blood samples were collected from buffaloes, slaughtered in a buffalo specific slaughterhouse for estimation of the plasma gastrin. After slaughter the abomasa were examined for the presence of AU1 and the blood samples were collected for estimation of plasma gastrin. The mean plasma gastrin concentration of the ulcer-positive buffaloes was significantly (P |
