Abstract
A total of 30 indigenous cattle were studied to observe the haematology of anorectic, anemic and both as well as haematinic treated cattle. 10 cattle were apparently healthy selected from BAU dairy farm. 20 animals were selected from BAU veterinary clinics of which 10 were anorexic and 10 were both anorexic and anemic. They were grouped as A, B, C. Cattle of group C were treated with haematinic mixture. The cattle suffering from anorexia (group B) revealed a significant (P<0.01) decrease in Hb, PCV, MCV and MCH as compared to control (Table 1). Whereas, the cattle of group C exhibited a significant decrease in TEC, Hb, PCV, MCHC and MCH and a significant (P<0.01) increase in TLC. The changes in the TEC, Hb, PCV, TLC and MCHC were remarkably decreased in the cattle suffering from anorexia with anemia than the cattle with anorexia only. For anorectic cattle MCV was observed more severe than that of anemic cattle. After treating the anorectic with anemic cattle with haematinic mixture, the mean value of the PCV, Hb, mcy and MCH increased significantly (P<0.01). TEC and MCHC were also increased but TEC significantly (P<0.05) and MCHC insignificantly (P>0.05). The parameter TLC decreased significantly (P<0.01). It may be concluded that haematinic treatment improved the haematological parameters of the cattle with anorexia and anemia.
