Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Sheep occupy an important place in economy of Pakistan as a source of food of high bioligical value and raw products for leather and woolen industries, particularly carpets. Parasitism is a great cause of economic loss to the sheep. The study was conducted to compare the fleece weight and live weight gain in treated versus untreated lambs suffering from nematodes using 90 Thalli sheep lambs in 3 groups keeping one group as infected control and other groups treated with Banminth II and Nilverm respectively. [he efficacy of both the drugs was evaluated on the basis of reduction of eggs per gram of faeces after medication. The egg count was made on Zero, 4th, 24th, 28th, 44th and 48th day. Both the drugs revealed a progressive decrease in the faecal egg counts. The efficacy of Banminth on 0, 4th, 24th, 29th, 44th and 48th was 20%, 97.33%., 99.73%., 99.93%. and 100%. Nilverm was 25%., 98.43%., 99.81%, 99.97% and 100%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the drugs. The increase in live weight gain in treated groups as compared to control was 30.72% and 42.48% in Banminth II and Nilverm respectively. Statistical analysis of the data confirmed that weight gain in Banminth II and Nilverm was significant than that of control however the weight gain was non significant between both the treated groups.
Fleece weight gain was 20% and 20.83% more in Banminth II and Nilverm treated groups as compared respectively. The quality of wool did not showed any significant difference between the three three groups except a significant increase in wool staple length s compared to control group.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: A study was conducted to find out the haematological changes, serum bilirubin level, relative efficacy of the three drugs, i.e., Coriban (Wellcome), Bilevon-M (Bayer) and Acedist (Ciba) and incidence of fascioliasis in naturally infected sheep. The study was made from the first week of January to the last week of March, 1985.
Haematological changes were observed after examining the Total Erythrocyte Count, Total Leucocyte Count, Differential Leucocyte Count, Packed Cell Volume and haemoglobin estimation of 80 naturally infected and 20 healthy sheep in Lahore. It was concluded that there was a drop in erythrocyte count, packed cell volume and haemoglobin concentration in the infected sheep and a normocytic normochromic type of anemia was detected. Besides this, it was also noticed and recorded that there was a rise in the total serum bilirubin level of the same 80 infected sheep which were naturally infected with fascioliasis were divided into four groups A, B, C and D of 20 animals each for the study of the efficacy of three antifascioliatic drugs (Coriban, Bilevon-M and Acedist) at manufacturer's recommended dose rates afterwards. Each group was given a separate drug on the Zero day and the fourth group (D Group) was left untreated as a Control At the end of experiment on the 28th day, the efficacies recorded were 98.86%, 97.67% and 97.70% for Coriban, Bilevon-M and Acedist respectively. Statistically there was no significant difference between the three drugs but a significant difference between the replications was noted by applying analysis of variance. An increase in the daily average weight gain of 48.21, 35.71 and 39.28 grams were recorded in A, B and C groups respectively and by applying paired 't' test it was proved that there was a significant difference between the weight gains of the animals treated with these drugs.
100 livers along with gall bladders were randomly selected from different abbatoirs of Lahore during the months of January, February and March to study the incidence of fascioliasis in sheep. An incidence of 8% was recorded for Fasciola hepatica and 4% for Fasciola gigantica, with an overall percentage of 12. for fascioliasis in sheep.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: One hundred faecal samples, 100 blood samples and livers including bile ducts were collected from sheep suffering from Fascio1iasis slaughtered at Lahore and Sheikhupura abbatoirs.
Faecal examinations were carried out with fresh smear and centrifugal techniques and only 35 animals were found passing Fasciola ova. Serum was prepared from the blood samples collected from infested sheep for performance of indirect hacinagglutination test and double imniuno-diffusion test. Crude antigen was prepared from the fresh liver flukes specimens collected from infected livers which contained 4.5 mg protein/mi. Hyper immuneerim was prepared in rabbits by inoculating antigen. Double immuno-diffusion test was performed on glass slides coated with 1% agar Gel and. incubated at 37 C for 48 hours. The positive reactions showed diffuse lines. 45 sheep were found positive with Double immuno-diffusion test.. For performing the indirect haemagglutination test fresh red blood cell of the healthy sheep were stabilized with gluteraldehyde and sensitized with Tannic acid. Crude antigen was attached to these cells at pH 6.4 which were used in Indirect haemagglutination test. Serum samples were tested with Fasciola antigen in "V" plates of microtiter sptem. The end points of the plates were read after 16 hours a room temperature. Sora were prediluted 50 times but agglutination was seen even at 1/100 dilution. In positive reactions cells were like mat of cells in the bottom of the wells In negative reactions, cells settle down and looked like button in the center. 59 animal were found positive with indirect haemagglutination test. While comparing the sheep serum samples results with hyper immune serum collected rom rabbits it was found that all the positive sheep serum samples coincide with the results of hyper immune serum.
From the conclusion of the results it was found that indirect haemagglutination test was more sensitive (59%) than double immuno diffusion test(45%)as compared with the coprological examination 35%

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Ancylostomes (Hookworms) in dogs, taxonomy of the species of the Genus Ancylostoina and their effects on various blood parameters of the infected canines.
For above purpose, samples were collected from dog hospital, College of Veterinary Sciences and different pet clinics in the city.
Faecal and blood samples were stored in the refrigerator, of Parasitology Laboratory.
Only those dogs which had high prevalerit in Ancylostomes were examined by different faecal examination methods, were selected to get mature ancylostomes, after killing the dogs. Preservation and staining of Ancylostimes was carried out by adopting the prescribed methods. The taxonomy of the species of the genus Ancylostoma was studied with the help of keys.
The collective over all prevalence of different types of Ancylostomes recorded in stray and pet dogs was 28%.
The species of Ancylostomes identified in our area were: Ancylostoina Caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma duodene1e.
The percentage of the above mentioned species were 100%, 33% and 2.5% respectively. Blood of infected dogs were exposed to various haematological studies including Hb estimation, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total serum protien level (TSP) and differential leukocyte count (DLC).
liaematological examinations were made to compare the blood picture of healthy and infected dogs. For this purpose 20 blood samples each from healthy and infected dogs were examined.
The results of haematological examination showed a significant decrease in haemoglobin estimation total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume and total serum protien level, whereas a significant increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and differential leukocyte counts, like neutrophils, eosinophils and very little increase in basophils were also seen.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of anticoccidial drug coxeva (a mixture of 80% sulphadimidine and 8% diaveridine) and its effects on body weight, growth rate and feed convertion ratio were studied. For this purpose 120 day old broiler chicks were reared upto the age of 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks the birds were randomly divided into four groups A, B, C, and D, each group containing 30 chicks. The birds of each group were weighed. The group B, C and D were infected with 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. While the group A was left uninfected and kept as control on the 6th day after the appearance of clinical symptoms of caccal coccidiosis, the group C and D were medicated with coxeva (the group C for five continuous days and group D for three days on 2 days off three days on), the group B was left as infected control. The daily oocysts count per gram of faeces were taken upto the end of experiment which was zero in group C on 10th day and in group D on 13th day the oocysts were at their peak (5,20,000) on 15th day of inoculation. The body weight was recorded at the end of each week throughout the experiment which showed significant difference in group B and group A, C and D . The feed consumed by each group was recorded on daily basis and growth rate was recorded at the end of each week. The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in feed consumption and growth rate in group B and other groups. The feed conversion ratio was recorded for each group at the end of each week which showed non significant difference among group A, B, C and D. The drug was also evaluated for its modes of administration (continuousand intermittent) and found no significant difference in both modesof administration. The mortaility was recorded which was five birds (16%) in group B. The drug proved hundred percent effective against caecal cocidiosis in broiler chicks.
