description <b>Aim:</b> The purpose of the study was to determine the levels of acute phase proteins and clinical changes in calves with lipopolysaccharide induced experimental endotoxemia.<p> <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Eight Holstein breed calves were used in the study. Endotoxemia was induced via intravenous administration of 0.1 &#956;g/kg dose of lipopolysaccharide in 50 mL of physiological 0.9% NaCl over 30 min. The calves were continuously observed for clinical changes during the experiment, and serum acute phase protein levels were measured.<p> <b>Results:</b> Increase in respiratory frequency, tachycardi, mucosal hyperemia/cyanosis, recumbency, depression, hyperthermia/hypothermia, and poor suckle reflexes were observed in all calves after lipopolysaccharide administration. After lipopolysaccharide infusion, serum haptoglobin (500±93.2 &#956;g/mL) and serum amyloid A (185±46.6) concentrations reached peak levels of at 36 h and 24 h, respectively.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> Changes in acute phase proteins and clinical findings were related to endotoxemia. A moderate to high increase in haptoglobin and serum amyloid A concentrations may indicate the presence of endotoxemia in calves.
