This study was aimed to investigate erythrocyte arginase activity and plasma nitric oxide (NO)
levels in dystocia and normal calving of cows and compare these parameters. The study material
consisted of 16 cows, 3–8 years old, brought for parturition at term to the Clinic of Obstetrics and
Gynecology at Fırat University. Blood samples of cows normally calving and dystocia were taken
into blood collecting tubes with heparin from the jugular vein in the first half hour after delivery and
centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Plasma NO levels and erythrocyte arginase activities were
measured. The erythrocyte arginase activity in cows normally calving was significantly increased
compared to that in cows with dystocia (P<0.01), and the plasma NO level in cows normally calving
was significantly decreased compared to that in cows with dystocia (P<0.05). It was concluded that
the lower erythrocyte arginase activity and higher plasma NO level in cows might play a role in
dystocia.
