Objective: To define the impact of stress factors on physiological concentration of interleukin 10 in Iraqi local calves.
Methods: A 5ml of blood was collected from 34 healthy Iraqi local calves, one to six months of age for assessment of IL10.Complete investigation about demographic and environmental was recorded.
Results: Considerable variation was recorded among age groups according to IL10 concentration (p value =0.000). No considerable correlation was recorded among the age groups, gender and IL10 at the same time considerable variation in IL10 concentration between males and females was recorded (p value =0.013). Type of drinking water and type of feeding have no considerable correlation with normal concentration of IL10. Concentration of IL10 vary considerably among calves consuming grains and milk (p value =0.003). Considerable variation was recorded among calves under poor, middle and good health status of breeding environment. IL10 concentration correlated with breeding of calves in poor unhealthy environment (p value =0.018). Although considerable inconstancy for IL10 concentration over the year, no considerable association among season and IL10 except for winter season (p value =0.042).
Conclusions: physiological level of IL10 in calves not affected by calves age groups; gender and water source. IL10 level positively correlated with milk feeding, poor health status of breeding environment and inversely correlated winter season.
