Abstract:
The study was conducted with an aim to investigate the status of some haematological and biochemical parameters and comparative efficacy of three different treatment regime in the cattle affected with Babesiosis. Blood samples were collected from 239 cattle clinically suspected for Babesiosis. Twenty one cattle found positive for Babesiosis on microscopic examination were utilized for further study. Whole blood and serum samples were analysed for estimation of Haemoglobin (Hb), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Leucocyte Count (TLC), Thrombocyte Count, Total Serum Protein (TSP), Albumin, Bilirubin, Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine. The study revealed significant decline in the level of Hb, TEC, PCV, Thrombocyte count, total serum protein and albumin whereas, a significant increase in the level of TLC, ALT, AST, bilirubin (Total), BUN and creatinine was observed in the affected cattle. Diminazene diaceturate and oxytetracycline combination was found the most effective among the three treatment regimes.
