Abstract

ABSTRACT The study was conducted to determine the health status of hariana cattle in different seasons in breeding tract of haryana cattle. Health status of hariana 240 cattle has been studied in field condition in terms of BCS, Physiological Parameters, Hematological Parameters, Helminthic And Tick Infestation in Relation with Season. The mean of body condition score was significantly lower (P<0.05) during summer and rainy season compared to winter. whereas, pulse rate, respiration rate and rectal temperature were significantly higher during summer and rainy seasons compared to winter. Haemoglobin (HB), White blood cells (WBC) and Red blood cells (RBC) Counts were significantly lower during rainy and winter season as compared to the summer season. wbc varied significantly amongst all the season. The percent (%) prevalence of tick infestation in hariana cattle in summer, winter and rainy seasons were 18.75, 16.25 and 27.50 Respectively. The samples were also found to be positive for prevalence of Strongyles, Paramphistomes, Faciola gigantica, Moniezia expansa and Buxtonella sulcata in hariana cattle in all seasons. The observations of the present study would provide a basis for evolving effective control strategy for management of health status of hariana cattle in its breeding tract. Higher during summer and rainy seasons compared to winter. HB, WBC AND RBC Counts were significantly lower during rainy and winter seasons as compared to the summer season, whereas it was the highest during summer. WBC varied significantly amongst all the seasons. The percent (%) prevalence of tick infestation in hariana cattle in summer, winter and rainy seasons were 18.75, 16.25 and 27.50, Respectively. The samples were also found to be positive for prevalence of Strongyles (Nematodes), Paramphistomes, Faciola gigantica, Moniezia expansa and buxtonella sulcata in hariana cattle in summer, winter and rainy seasons. The observations of the present study would provide a basis for evolving effective control strategy for the management of health status of hariana cattle in its breeding tract.
