Abstract

In the present study, the effects of cefuroxime sodium and meloxicam administration on biochemical parameters were studied in barbari goats. In this study, cefuroxime sodium was administered @ 20 mg.kg−1 by intramuscular route and Meloxicam was administered @ 0.5 mg.kg−1, intramuscularly. The result of this study indicated that multiple intramuscular doses of cefuroxime sodium along with meloxicam did alter some of the biochemical parameters in barbari goats. In the present study, significant changes (P<0.05) were observed in biochemical parameters like creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. However, in creatine phosphokinase, no statistically significant changes were observed.
