Comparative haemato-biochemical study of buparvaquone plus ivermectin and buparvaquone plus topical cypermethrin in theileriosis infected cross bred Cattles

Abstract

103 cross bred cattle selected randomly irrespective of age, breed, sex, physiological status, farming system etc. and blood samples were collected in EDTA and plain vials. Samples were screened for the presence of Theileria spp. schizonts by microscopy and further analysed to estimate haemato–biochemical parameters. There was 7/103 (6.79%) cattles were positive for Theileria spp. by microscopic examination of blood smear. Considerable improvement in Hb, PCV, TEC and Platelets was observed in the group treated with Buparvaquone + Ivermectin. Similar improvement on Total protein, Albumin and A: G ratio was observed in same group. Reduction in TLC value (26.68%) was observed in Buparvaquone + Ivermectin treated group, while in Buparvaquone + Cypermethrin treated group TLC was increased by 2.54%. Aspartate transaminase and Alanine transaminase values increased in both groups however more increase is noted in Buparvaquone + Ivermectin treated group. Total bilirubin in Buparvaquone + Ivermectin treated group decreased by 1.85% while increase in total bilirubin value (92.00%) observed in Buparvaquone + Cypermethrin treated group. Comparatively superior results were obtained in Buparvaquone + Ivermectin treated group.
