INTAS POLIVET

Bovine babesiosis was characterized by high fever, hemoglobinuria, anaemia, inappetance, pink pale to pale mucous membrane, swollen lymph nodes and suspended rumination with mild to moderate tick infestation. Classical light microscopy was advocated for detection of Babesia piroplasm in Giemsa stained thin blood smears. The hematological findings exhibited low level of hemoglobin, TEC, PCV, MCHC and platelets along with increase in MCV, TLC, monocytes and lymphocytes values. The serum biochemical analysis revealed hypoglycemia, higher level of AST, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobunaemia, higher level of creatinine and BUN. All animals were successfully treated with Diminazene diaceturate @ 3.5 mg/kg b. wt. along with supportive therapy.
