Clinical And Laboratory Studies On Emaciation And Ill-Thriftiness In Cattle At Aswan Governorate

    January 2014 in “ Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal/Maǧallaẗ Asyūṭ al-ṭibiyyaẗ al-baytariyyaẗ ”
    TLDR Emaciated cattle in Aswan have poor health due to parasites and low blood nutrients.
    The study conducted in Aswan Governorate examined the link between emaciation and various clinical, hematological, and biochemical parameters in cattle, involving 160 emaciated cows and 20 healthy controls. Emaciated cows showed poor body condition, alopecia, and pale mucous membranes, often due to malnutrition and parasitic infections like fasciola gigantica and gastrointestinal nematodes. Hematological analysis revealed decreased erythrocyte counts, hemoglobin, packed cell volume, and leucocyte counts, with more significant drops in parasitic cases. Blood serum analysis showed reduced levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and zinc, alongside decreased total serum protein and albumin. Elevated AST and ALT levels were observed, indicating liver impairment. The study highlighted the detrimental effects of nutritional deficiencies and parasitic infestations on cattle health and productivity.
