Comparative Study of Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Healthy and Ascariosis Affected Buffalo Calves Before and After Treatment with Levamisole*

Buffalo calves naturally infected with T.vitulorum and classified on the basis of clinical signs into mild and moderate ascariosis were treated with Levamisole @ 7.5 mg/kg b.wt orally. The PCV and various biochemical parameters (Calcium, Phosphorus, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, Glucose, Total bilirubin, Total protein, Albumin, Globulins and A:G ratio) were estimated before and 3^rd and 7^th day of treatment so that these values were not influenced by reinfection under natural conditions. These values were compared with the normal values. The results indicated either slight decrease, or slight increase or maintenance of status quo. Many of the parameters did not return to normal values.
