ABSTRACT
The article refers about several cases of isoimmunohaemolytic icterus in neonatal calves from different farms, whose dams had all been vaccinated against piroplasmosis. Clinical signs of immunomediated icterus neonatorum gravis, results of blood chemistry (with special regard to liver-specific parameters in the neonatal calf and results of haematology) as well as gross pathology and pathohistology are to be discussed. It is summarized, that the most relevant indicators for a hepatopathy in the newborn calf are total-bilirubin and the glutamate-dehydrogenase. Today, the production of piroplasmosis-vaccines out of blood of splenectomized animals is referred to as the only practicable method of harvesting sufficient amounts of vaccine-antigen.
