Clinical Studies on Postparturient Haemoglobinuria in Buffaloes

The present study reports, epidemiological pattern and therapeutic efficacy of sodium acid phosphate in postparturient haemoglobinuria in buffaloes in and around of Bikaner. Analysis of risk factors such as lactation, season, time of occurrence, parity of animals and time of appearance of clinical signs was done to investigate the epidemiological pattern of disease. Major clinical signs were red urine, straining/constipation, pale mucous membrane, suppressed rumen motility, frequent urination, anorexia, drop in milk production and recumbency. Haematology and vital parameters were also found altered from normal range for the species. PPH affected animals underwent therapy with sodium acid phosphate, inj. ascorbic acid and inj. Botropase with a success rate of 60% out of 32 buffaloes.
