Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is subclinical form of acidosis in ruminants. Haemato-biochemical investigation of the dairy herds may be helpful for the preliminary diagnosis of SARA in dairy cattle. A cross-sectional study on dairy cows maintained in various dairy farms in and around Shivamogga on different feeding patterns to determine the risk factors associated with SARA was undertaken. The presence of SARA in dairy cows was identified by measuring pH of rumen liquor falling within a range of 5.2 to 5.9. A total of 102 dairy cows were screened for SARA and the prevalence was found to be 19.61 per cent. Haematological parameters viz., Haemoglobin, packed cell volume (PCV), Total erythrocyte count (TEC) and Total leukocyte count (TLC) along with biochemical parameters namely Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), Aspartate amino transferase (AST), Total protein (TP), Glucose, Calcium (Ca), Phosphorous (P) were estimated from the blood collected from cows positive and cows negative for SARA. The present study revealed a considerable percentage of prevalence of SARA is prevailing in dairy cows in and around Shivamogga. The SARA positive cows showed higher Haemoglobin, PCV and TEC values than SARA negative cows indicating haemoconcentration. The SARA positive cows had significantly higher GGT values than normal range indicating liver damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
