Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum iron (Fe), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TD), haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin levels in cows with reticuloperitonitis traumatica (RPT) and pericarditis traumatica (PT). Swiss brunettes and crossbreds between 2-6 years of age were used in the study. A total of 60 cows, 30 cows diagnosed clinically and radiologically as RPT and 30 cows diagnosed as PT, constituted the patient groups. The control group consisted of 20 healthy cows in the same age range. Serum Fe, TD and TDBK levels were significantly lower in PT and RPT groups compared to the control group (P
