Abstract
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.
