    STUDIES ON METABOLIC AND HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILES OF CROSSBRED COWS WITH LAMINITIS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2022) DODDABASAVANA GOWDA, K.; A. M. KOTRESH
    Laminitis is a diffuse, aseptic, serous, non-purulent inflammation of the laminar corium of the hoof wall. The present study was undertaken to determine assessment haemato-biochemical profiles in crossbred cows with laminitis reared in the central dry zone of Karnataka. The CB cows considered for the present study were divided into three groups like group-I (N=10) as control group having apparently healthy crossbred cows without laminitis, group- II (N=20) having crossbred cows with acute laminitis, Group- III (N=20) having crossbred cows chronic laminitis. Metabolic profiles such as Blood glucose, NEFA, Total protein, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), revealed statically significant (P<0.05) increased levels in both laminitis groups compared to control group. In haematological profiles there is a significant decrease (p<0.05) in RBC count, PCV, WBC, and haemoglobin (Hb), however there was no significant difference in other haematological parameters such as MCH, MCV, MCHC, and lymphocyte percentage in laminitis group compared to control. In mineral profile there was a significant decrease(p<0.05) in the calcium noticed however there is no significant difference in phosphorus levels in group II, III, compared to control groups. Correlation of haematological parameters such haemoglobin concentration, RBC counts, and packed cell volume, lymphocytes (%) was made with NEFA which showed negative correlation while with BHBA showed positive correlation except lymphocyte percentage. However, calcium showed positive correlation expect lymphocytes while there was a negative correlation with respect to phosphorus and haematological parameters in laminitis group compared to control. Key words: Laminitis, Metabolic profile, Haematological profile, Hoof disorders.
