Healthy buffaloes (187) in the age group of 1-15 years were randomly selected from 15 districts. Blood samples were analyzed for red cell parameters, leucogram, activity of AST, ALKP, GGT, CK, total bilirubin, total proteins, albumin, fibrinogen, cholesterol, TI, TIBC and electrolytes. Disease profiling was based on 2,046 buffaloes and 2,221 cattle on the bases of clinical examination and treatment response. Reference limits for Hb, PCV, TLC, neutrophils and lymphocyte count were- 9.47-14.2 g/dl, 25.5-35.0 per cent, 6.48-12.6 ×103/µl, 2.01-5.39×103/µl, 3.46-8.28×103/µl, respectively. Mean values of TLC, CK and lymphocytes were higher in heifers and values of TEC, TLC and lymphocytes were lowest in lactating buffaloes. Breed, milk yield and parity did not affect haematological and biochemical values. Population morbidity rate was 10.3 per cent and 7.53 per cent in cattle and buffaloes, respectively. Case mortality rate was 5.26 per cent and 22.1 per cent in cattle and buffaloes, respectively. Diarrhea followed by haemoprotozoan infections, simple indigestion, metabolic diseases, udder edema and idiopathic haematuria were the common diseases in cattle whereas, diarrhea, simple indigestion, fever, peritonitis, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases and udder edema in buffaloes.ennullThesis
