Haemato-biochemical alterations due to peste des petits ruminants in goats in Assam

Abstract

A study was conducted in goats with an aim to produce Peste des petits ruminants disease experimentally, to study the haematological and haemato-biochemical profile during the progression of the disease. A mixed tissue sample collected from naturally infected PPR goats was used as inoculum. The haemato-biochemical study of the experimental animals revealed a lower level of total serum proteins, with higher level of serum ALT and AST. Haematology showed an increase an increase in TEC, Hb, and PCV along with a decrease in TLC and DLC.
