Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine immunoglobulin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IgA);, immunoglobulin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IgE);, immunoglobulin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IgG); and immunoglobulin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IgM); levels of calves naturally infected with coccidiosis and to determine the relationship between infection and calf immunity. The material of this study consisted of 30 calves insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(21-44 days old); which were brought to clinics of Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, of which 20 calves that were diagnosed as coccidiosis by detecting Eimeria spp. oocysts according to native faecal examination and 10 healthy calves as control group. For hematological and biochemical analysis, blood samples were taken from all animals from the v. jugularis before treatment. According to statistical analyses; there was a statistically significant increase in hematological parameters such as white blood cell count insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WBC);, hematocrit value insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hct);, mean corpuscular volume insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCV);, monocyte count insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mon); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); and neutrophil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Neu); percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01);, whereas there was a statistical decrease in lymphocyte insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lym); percentage and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCHC); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); levels. Besides, there was a significant increase in urea and creatinine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P <0.05); levels of calves with coccidiosis compared to control group. IgA, IgE, IgG and IgM concentrations of calves with coccidiosis were significantly lower than the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P <0.001);. As a result; there was a relationship between calf immunity and the risk of infection of calves with coccidiosis. It was concluded that determining passive transfer failure levels and oral immunoglobulin supplementation to calves with passive transfer failure would reduce the risk of coccidiosis in newborn calves.
