The objective of this study was to simultaneously evaluate biomarkers in the blood and peritoneal fluid (PF) of cattle with intestinal diseases (GI n=14) and traumatic reticulitis (GII n=13). A clinical examination and blood collection and PF were performed and subsequently, physical and cytological analysis of PF, as well as biochemical determinations in blood and PF. The analysis of variance was used at a 5% probability level comparing the groups and comparing blood and PF. In both groups, signs of apathy, dehydration and reticuloruminal hypomotility were evidenced, but the GI animals presented more expressive clinical alterations. In the cytological analysis of PF, a predominance of polymorfhonuclear was observed in both groups. Blood TP, globulin, cholesterol and GGT concentrations were higher in GII (P<0.05), and the A/G ratio was higher in GI (P <0.05). In PF, albumin and CK were higher in GI (P<0.05). In the comparison between blood and PF, the significant increase of L-lactate in the PF of both groups (P<0.05) was observed, characterizing the severity of the alterations present in the abdominal cavity. It is recommended the simultaneous evaluation of L-lactate in the blood and PF, as a tool for diagnosis and prognosis of bovine digestive diseases.Keywords: Digestive system, cattle, peritonitis, clinic biochemical, L-lactate.
