Abstract:
The research was conducted in clinical cases of eighteen goats with acute ruminal acidosis and they were randomly divided into three groups of six animals in each group. Goats were treated with intravenous isotonic sodium bicarbonate, rumen buffer (Bufzone®), probiotics (Ecotas®), fresh rumen fluid and rumenotomy. Blood was collected at 0 hour before and at 12, 24, 72 and 120 hours after initiation treatment for heamatobiochemical studies like heamoglobin, total leucocyte count, total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume, differential leucocyte count, glucose, aspartate amino transferase and alanine amino transferase. In present study heamoglobin, total leucocyte count, total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume, glucose, aspartate amino transferase and alanine amino transferase were increased significantly on the day of case presentation whereas, neutrophils and lymphocytes values had not shown any significant difference. In all the groups heamatobiochemical values were returned to physiological range after treatment. The study has helped in knowing the metabolic status and based these values given precised treatment of goats with acute ruminal acidosis. All the goats recovered without any complications.
