| dc.description.abstract | The aim of present study was to record the clinical and haemato-biochemical findings, to identify the bacterial causative agent, antibiogram of isolated bacteria and efficacy of different cephlosporins in respiratory disease of bacterial origin in buffaloes. The present study revealed that the occurrence of respiratory disease of bacterial origin in buffaloes was 6 per cent. Graded buffaloes and buffaloes of 6-9 years aged groups were commonly affected. The most predominant clinical signs observed in the study were anorexia, pyrexia, respiratory distress, congested mucous membrane, nasal discharge, depression, ocular discharge, coughing and open-mouth breathing. The most predominant physical examination findings were tachypnoea, tachycardia, crackles, wheezes and dyspnoea. Significant increase was recorded in parameters of rectal temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate. Haematological examination revealed a decrease in hemogram values, leucocytosis with neutrophilia and lymphopenia. Serum biochemical examination revealed an increase in total protein, aspartate aminotransferase and blood urea nitrogen followed by a decrease in albumin levels. Thoracic radiography revealed pneumonic changes in lungs of affected buffaloes. Isolation and identification of nasal swab samples revealed E.coli, Pasteurella spp, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp, Klebsiella spp, Pseudomonas spp, Diplococci spp and Bacilli spp. Bacterial isolates were found to be sensitive to ceftriaxone (66.67%). Therapeutic trial in affected buffaloes revealed the efficacy of cefquinome was proved to be superior followed by ceftiofur in comparison with ceftriaxone. Cefquinome along with supportive therapy was effective in the treatment of respiratory disease of bacterial origin in buffaloes caused by multiple bacteria. | |
