| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out to make a comparative clinicopathological, radiographic, and ultrasonographic findings in different forms of TRP & TP in cows and buffalo. Moreover, to verify the response of both animal species to foreign body syndrome. The present investigation was carried out on 60 animals (diseased buffalo n=22, diseased cow n=18, healthy cow n=10, healthy buffalo n=10). The diseased animals were allocated into 5 groups based on clinical signs and duration of illness. Full case history was obtained and all animals were subjected to thorough clinical examination. Blood samples were obtained for hematological and biochemical analysis. Radiographic and ultrasonographic examination of reticulum and the cardiac area was performed. The hematological analysis showed a significant decrease in RBCs count, Hb concentration and PCV% with leukocytosis in all diseased groups. The blood serum biochemical analysis revealed a significant increase in total proteins with a significant increase in globulin and a significant decrease in the albumin concentration in chronic TRP affected cows and buffalo. Haptoglobin was significantly increased in acute TRP buffalo and TP in both cattle and buffalo while IgG was significantly decreased in acute TRP buffalo but increased in chronic conditions. However, cardiac troponin-I concentration increased only in TP affected animals. Finally, it could be concluded that changes in serum protein pattern are an important tool for differentiation between acute and chronic TRP. Cardiac troponin-I is an indicator of TP in cattle and buffalo. Ultrasonography has been suggested as a reliable tool and a method of choice for imaging and evaluating the severity of Traumatic pericarditis. There were non-significant biochemical changes between cattle and buffalo in response to the foreign body syndrome. | ||
