“…However, reticular radiography is considered to be an accurate diagnostic method for the evaluation of cattle suspected of having TRP (Fubini et al, 1990). In the present study, therefore, the animals in the TRP group were diagnosed with chronic traumatic reticuloperitonitis according to the anamnesis and the clinical, ferroscopic, reticulographic and rumenotomy findings, which were consistent with other published reports (Fubini et al, 1990;Samad et al, 1994;Ward and Ducharme, 1994). Leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia and erythrocytopenia, which are well-known haematological alterations observed as secondary conditions in association with viral and bacterial septicaemias and in chronic inflammatory diseases including TRP, were detected in the TRP group (Coles, 1986;Radostits et al, 1994;Ward and Ducharme, 1994;Roussel et al, 1997;Aiello, 1998).…”

“…Hypocalcaemia can be due to decreased Ca uptake because of any illness that affects the appetite and decreases its absorption (Moore, 1997;Roussel et al, 1997). Therefore, the hypocalcaemia observed in this study probably developed in association with the animals' gastrointestinal stasis and insufficient dietary uptake, as reported elsewhere in cattle with TRP (Samad et al, 1994;Ward and Ducharme, 1994). The high P concentration detected in the TRP group may also be related to increased mobilization of Ca compounds from the body stores to compensate for the hypocalcaemia (Kramer and Hoffmann, 1997).…”

“…Fever, increased heart and respiratory rate, anorexia, dehydration, decreased milk production, weight loss, ruminal stasis, chronic tympani, abdominal tension, and rigid abdominal pain with grunting are the common clinical signs observed in cattle with TRP (Radostits et al, 1994;Samad et al, 1994;Ward and Ducharme, 1994).…”

Alterations in Coagulation Profiles and Biochemical and Haematological Parameters in Cattle with Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis

2007

This study was designed to investigate alterations in coagulation, and in biochemical and haematological parameters in cattle with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP). In the study, 28 dairy cattle with TRP and 10 clinically healthy cattle (control) of different ages and breeds were used. Cattle with TRP had prolonged prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Erythrocytopenia, thrombocytopenia and hyperfibrinogenaemia were detected in animals with TRP. Furthermore, the serum concentrations of total protein, globulin and total bilirubin, and the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were also high in cattle with TRP compared to those of the control group. The serum concentrations of calcium were significantly low in the TRP group. The results of this study, therefore, indicate that TRP causes significant coagulation abnormalities and biochemical and haematological alterations in dairy cattle.

“…The levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were significantly higher, which might have been due to renal insufficiency that resulted from dehydration and a reduction of renal blood flow with subsequent prerenal azotaemia. The observed reduction in the glucose level might have been due to the anorexia observed in the cows with TP and subsequent starvation [11,12]. In a study of cattle suspected of having TRP that also had a total plasma protein concentration of 100 g/L (10mg/dL) had an 83% chance of having TRP, 83% of the cattle with a total plasma protein concentration of 10 mg/dL had TRP [13].…”

A cow with history of fever, anorexia, sudden milk drop and stiff gait was referred to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science; Proddatur. Examination of the cow revealed fever, tachycardia, tachypnoea, with ruminal atony associated with mild bloat and dehydration was noticed. The cow exhibited light pain while palpation at brisket region. Hot and pain full edema was noticed at brisket region and at ventral abdomen. Animal exhibited positive response to metal detector. Haematology revealed significant erythrocytopenia, higher PCV, lower haemoglobin concentration, significant leucocytosis with neutrophilia, presence of more number of immature neutrophils and decreased lymphocyte count. Sero biochemical findings had reduced glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus levels and increased levels of total protein, globulin, AST, ALT, creatinine was noticed. Cow was treated with Inj. strepto penicillin, Inj.neoprofen along with supportive therapy.

Prevalence and analysis of associated risk factors for Cryptosporidium infection in lambs in Jammu district

An epidemiologic study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and analysis of risk of Cryptosporidium infection in lambs in Jammu district. Faecal samples of 120 lambs of different age groups viz., \1 month, 1-3 months and 3-6 months were assessed. Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified by using modified Zeihl Neelsen technique. Statistical analysis showed that infection rates were significantly higher in lambs of \1 month age group (65 %) than other two age groups (p \ 0.05). Similarly, cryptosporidial infection rates were significantly higher in diarrhoeic (54.41 %) than in non diarrhoeic lambs (34.61 %). Winter records highest prevalence (73.33 %) which varied significantly. Sex wise higher prevalence was observed in females (51.56 %) as compared to males (39.28 %). The relationship between intensity of infection and various epidemiological factors showed that highest intensity was observed in lambs of 0-1 month age group, having diarrhoea, in winter season.
