Abstract

The present study aims at determining the effect of strongylosis on haematological and biochemical parameters in goats. Animals having eggs per gram (EPG) >2500 were selected and divided into three groups containing 30 goats in each group. Blood samples were collected from all the affected goats on the day of presentation. Results indicated that there was significant decrease (p<0.05) in the mean values of Hb, PCV, TEC, MCV, TSP, albumin, glucose and A:G ratio while globulin levels were non-significantly higher in all the infected goats. There was significant increase (p<0.05) observed in the levels of TLC, eosinophils and SGOT in infected goats.
