before and after treatment in calves naturally infected with

Abstract
Aim:
The aim was to
determine hemato-biochemical alterations and to determine the
better treatment of theileriosis in naturally infected calves.
Materials and
Methods:
A total of 74
Holstein crossbred calves below 6 months of age, of either sex
were included for present investigation in Bikaner. Based on the
clinical examinations and laboratory results, 20 calves included
for hemato-biochemical studies (before and after treatment) and
divided into two groups (having 10 calves each).
Results:
The clinical
examination of these calves revealed weakness, ticks infestations,
high fever above 104°F, pronounced swelling of prescapular,
prefemoral, parotid lymph nodes, loss of elasticity of skin,
anemia, lacrimal discharges, pulpy cornea, tachycardia, and
dyspnea. There was highly significant decrease (p<0.01) in
hemoglobin, total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume and total
leukocyte count, serum glucose, total protein, globulin and
albumin level and highly significant increase in aspartate
aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase level as compared to
healthy control animals in Group I and II. The animals of Group II
treated with buparvaquone along with single blood transfusion
shows better recovery then animals of Group I treated with
bupavaqone and hematinic.
Conclusions:
Significant changes were found in hemato-biochemical parameters in
theileria affected calves before treatment as compare to healthy
control calves. Significant improvement was observed in hemato-biochemical
parameters in buparvaquone and single blood transfusion treated
calves as compare to another group, so it is concluded that
buparvaquone and single blood transfusion is better combination
for treatment of theileriosis.
Keywords:
blood transfusion, buparvaquone, calves, hemato-biochemical,
theileriosis.
