A Study Of Glucose Potassium & Iron Level In Serum Of Buffaloes Suffering From Parturient Haemoglubinuria In NWFP - 1991

Some blood and urinary parameters were studied on 70 buffalo-cows (50 suffering from parturient haemoglobinuria and 20 healthy animals) in this experiment. The animals were divided into three groups i.e; Group 'A" comprising of 17 animals affected with pre-parturient haemoglobinuria, Group "B" comprising of 33 animals affected with post parturient haemoglobinuria and Group comprising of 20 healthy animals.

The blood parameters studied were serum glucose, serum potassium and serum iron. All the three blood parameters were significantly high in animals affected with pre- parturient and post-parturient haemoglobinuria as compared to the control group animals. The values of serum glucose were respectively 78.8, 71.9 and 50.9 mg/dl in group A, B and C.

The values of serum potassium were 14.3, 13.2 and 4.7 in.mol/L in group A, B and C respectively. Serum iron values of 32.6, 29.9 and 27.3 u inol/L were recorded in group A, B, and C respectively.

The urine samples from all the 70 animals belonging to group A, B and C were examined for the presence of haemoglobin, which was present in all the animals belonging to group A and B (animals affected with haemoglobinuria) and urinary PH. The PH values in the affected groups A & B were significantly higher (8.96 in both A & B groups) as compared to the control group C (8.09).

The urinary phosphorus values were also determined in this experiment. The phosphorus values were significantly lower in the affected groups A & B as compared to the control group C. -
