Abstract
Aim:
The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the blood
biochemical metabolites of crossbred cattle suffering from
brucellosis, in Khetri region of Kamrup District of Assam, India.
Materials and Methods: Blood was collected by venipuncture
from the jugular vein using 18 gauge hypodermic needle fitted to a
Vacutainer-Leur adapter and evacuated tubes. Samples were screened
for Brucella by rose Bengal plate test using plate test
antigen. The study consisted of two groups. Group I consisted of
healthy crossbred cows and Group II consisted of crossbred cows
affected with brucellosis. Blood metabolites were estimated by
spectrophotometric methods.
Results: Out of 14 serum samples, 8 samples were positive for
Brucella and remaining 6 were found to be negative. It was
observed that serum albumin and urea of the affected cattle showed
a significant decrease (p<0.05), but serum globulin, cholesterol,
triglyceride, aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase
activities were significantly increased (p<0.05) in comparison to
the healthy cattle. Glucose, protein, albumin: globulin ratio,
blood urea nitrogen did not show much variation between the
Brucellosis affected and healthy cattle.
Conclusion: Results obtained showed that brucellosis have a
harmful effect on the animals health as they disturb the vital
organs functions, which appear in the form of changes in blood
biochemical parameters.
Keywords: biochemical metabolites,
brucellosis, cattle, rose Bengal plate test.
