| Tóm tắt: | Anaplasmosis is a fatal infectious disease affecting small ruminants all over the world.
Haematological analysis and therapeutic evaluation of anaplasmosis were done in clinically
affected goats from Thrissur district, Kerala in this study. A total of 100 blood samples from clinically
affected goats were collected and microscopically examined using Field’s staining technique for
anaplasmosis which revealed 50 per cent positivity. Infected goats showed significant (p <0.05)
decrease in their haematological variables like haemoglobin, MCH and platelets, compared to
healthy animals. The effectiveness of long-acting oxytetracycline, long-acting enrofloxacin, and
imidocarb dipropionate in treating anaplasmosis was 100%, 62.5%, and 50%, respectively. Long
acting oxytetracycline was the most effective drug of choice for treating the disease. |
