Abstract:
A total no. of 60 colibacillosis poisitive calves (Escherichia coli positive) and six (06) clinically normal healthy calves (Healthy control) were taken to investigate the Clinico-physiological profiles. E. coli was isolated from the colibacillosis affected calves and the animals found positive were used for the study of Clinico-physiological profile. Faecal sample were cultured on MacConkey and EMB agar to diagnose E. coli. Analysis of Clinico-physiological observation of the colibacillosis affected calves revealed significant increase in Rectal temperature, Respiration rate and Pulse rate, and all the colibacillosis affected calves also found watery faecal consistency, anoretic, dry mucous membrane, alteration in behavior, dehydrated and enophthalmos condition. The experiment was conducted at Department of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke Ranchi.
