Abstract:
The study was carried out on 08 cattle affected with FMD, showing clinical signs like fever, vesicular lesions on the tongue, dental pad, gums, interdigital space, ropy salivation and smacking of lips. Age of the animals affected was 5-6 years, significant increase in rectal temperature and respiratory rate was recorded. Hematologically significant decrease in RBC and haemoglobin was seen. Biochemically significant increase in ALT, AST, creatinine and glucose, significant decrease in TP and albumin was evident. Electrocardiography revealed normal sinus rhythm in 87.5 % and second-degree AV-block in 12.5 % animals. The concentration of cTn-I did not vary significantly indicating absence of myocardial injury.
