Haematobiochemical changes in subclinical hemoprotozoan infections in Bovine

Abstract

Haemoparasites pose a great threat in dairy industry as they cause mortality in cattle in severe parasitemia. Subclinical hemoparasitic infections which are less severe are also of concern as they cause markedly impair the health and production performance of cattle. Hence a study was undertaken to understand the health impact of subclinical hemoparasitic infections in cattle by haematological and biochemical analysis. Haematological study revealed anaemia and monocytosis. Serum biochemical analysis revealed hypoproteinemia and hypergammaglonulinemia.
