Hematological and biochemical alterations in goats due to paste des petits ruminant’s viral infection

M Islam, DC Pathak, S Das, T Rahman, S Sarma and R Borgohaign

The present study was conducted to evaluate the different hematological and serum biochemical alterations in naturally infected Paste des petits ruminant’s viral (PPRV) infection in goats of Assam. A total of 26 whole blood samples from infected Assam Local goats and 10 blood samples from healthy local goats of Assam were collected and analyzed. All the test results were subjected to analyze the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Analysis of Variance showed significant increase in total erythrocyte count (P<0.05), hemoglobin (P<0.01), packed cell volume (P<0.01) and significant decrease in total leucocytes count (P<0.01) in PPRV infected goats in compared with healthy goats. Lymphopenia was constant finding in differential leucocytes count in infected goats in compared with healthy goats. Biochemical study revealed significant decrease in serum protein (P<0.01) and significant increase in serum potassium level (P<0.01), with non-significant increase of serum sodium level in infected goats in compared with apparently healthy goats. This is due to nephritic damage which cause in permeability of glomerular capillary wall.
