Abstract
Five years old seven month pregnant crossbred Jersey cow was presented
with the history of anorexia and passing coffee coloured urine. Clinical examination
of the animal revealed fever, pale mucous membrane, haemoglobinuria, suspended
rumination and moderate tick infestation. Peripheral blood smear was stained with
Giemsa stain and examined under compound light microscope found that the sample
was positive for Babesia spp. The animal was treated with diminazine aceturate
@ 3.5mg/kg b.wt IM along with supportive therapy. The animal was successfully
recovered from the Babesiosis, after the ten days of recovery the cow was aborted.
