Abstract

Fascioliasis is among one of the emerging and re-emerging disease which has zoonotic importance and spread by feco-oral route. The migrating fluke causes extensive liver damage results in economic burden to the animal farmer. In present investigation 20 cattle were used to evaluate the hemato-biochemical alteration in naturally acquired fasciola infection and without other diseases. Decreased Hemoglobin, Packed cell volume (PCV), Red blood cells (RBC) count whereas; an elevated level of Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) was observed in infected cattle. Hypoproteinemia, hypoalbunemia and hypoglycemia was recorded in infected cattle. The activities of serum enzyme Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine amino transferase (ALT), Gamma-glutamyl tranferase (GGT) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were increased in fasciola infection.  Keywords: Fasciola, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, GGTCite this ArticleAnil Gattani, Ajeet Kumar, Singh G.
