Abstract
The study was undertaken to understand the prevalence of Anaplasmosis in caprine population, its diagnosis, hematological
values and its management. A total of 65 blood smears were collected from goats and 20 were confirmed for Anaplasmosis
by staining with Giemsa-Leishman cocktail combination. The affected caprines had history of severe anemia with pale
mucous membrane with watery blood. The prevalence of Anaplasma marginale was confirmed and correlated with
hematological values of infected goats such as packed cell volume 22.85+ 0.80%; hemoglobin - 6.70+0.14 g/dl; red blood
cell count -6.72 + 0.40 x 106/μl; leukocyte count -11.58 + 0.38 x 103/μl; MCV -35.73 + 1.39 fl; MCH -10.58 + 0.33 pg and
MCHC -28.70 + 0.77 g/dl.
