| During an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) blood samples were collected from clinically diseased (n=10) and healthy (n=10) cattle and analysed for various hemato-biochemical parameters. Results indicated a significant increase in packed cell volume (PCV) (28.6 ± 0.98%, P=0.036), lymphocytes (70.2 ± 6.20%, P=0.0132), monocytes (8.2 ± 1.08%, P=0.0132) and serum glucose (104.2 ± 15.59 mg/dL, P=0.0053) whereas a significant decrease in the concentration of hemoglobin (7.17 ± 0.07 gm/dL, P=0.0004), basophils (0.3 ± 0.16%, P=0.0241), eosinophils (16.5 ± 1.83%, P=0.0097), calcium (8 ± 0.41 mg/dL, P=0.0125) and total protein (6.2 ± 0.19 mg/dL, P=0.0058) was recorded in FMD infected cattle. Non-significant (P >0.05) difference was noted between healthy and FMD infected animals with respect to total erythrocyte count (TEC) (P=0.6066), total leukocyte count (TLC) (P=0.3169), neutrophils (P=0.2358) and serum inorganic phosphorous (P=0.2507). It was concluded that FMD had major impact on hemato-biochemical profile of affected animals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
