Clinicotherapeutic studies were undertaken on six goats of the fifty eight goats screened for anaemic state at Goat Unit, Cattle Breeding Farm (LPM), Nagpur Veterinary College, MAFSU, Nagpur. The anaemic goats were subjected to intravenous iron dextran injection @ 200mg at an interval of ten days during the study period of 49 days. The clinical parameters were discussed.

The article presents a study on the effectiveness of Ivermectin for Demodex canis infection of dogs in India. The study proves the effectiveness of Ivermectin in reducing the mite count of dogs. A histopathological examination was conducted to assess the skin tissue of the affected dogs such as the epidermis, dermis, and hair follicle.

The article discusses a study which assessed the efficacy of different indirect tests available for the detection of mastitis in goats. It is important to identify mastitis in its early stages, as it affects milk yield and renders milk unsuitable for consumption. The test that was found to be most efficacious was Modified California Mastitis Test.

The article discusses a study which aimed to measure the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in 220 goats in Parbhani district of Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The goats were selected from Goat farm at College of Agriculture Parbhani and private goat farms. Out of 220 goats examined, 171 were found positive for mastitis. The maximum prevalence of subclinical mastitis was found in 4-5 year age, followed by 3-4 year and 2-3 year.

The article presents information on a study which examined the efficacy of various non-antibiotic agents in treatment of caprine subclinical mastitis under field conditions. A review of the related literature is given. The materials and methods used are described in detail. The conformity of the recovery rates obtained by the researchers with previous studies is highlighted.

The article presents a case study of a bullock diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). It describes the clinical history of the bullock which includes recurrent anorexia and swelling at the brisket region. The dosages of the broad spectrum antibiotic and corticosteroid treatments administered are mentioned. The inclusion of the positive inotropic agent digoxin in the treatment given to the bullock effectively reduced venous congestion.

Forty buffaloes in early, mid and late lactation with a drop in a milk production were screened for haematological and blood biochemical profile. In early stage of lactation haemoglobin concentration showed lowered trend as compared to recorded means in other groups of lactating buffaloes. The mean value of TLC in dry pregnant group of buffaloes was 10.05± 0.89 X 103 / cmm showed slightly higher trend than the normal healthy control group. The blood glucose was significantly higher in dry buffaloes (52.72±4.22 mg/dl) than the early and late lactating buffaloes (48.23±3.44 mg/dl). During early stage of lactation the serum total protein values (8.36±0.47 g/dl) was slightly elevated than the normal healthy control (8.00±0.57 g/dl). The urea nitrogen values differ significantly (P<0.05) amongst different groups of lactating buffaloes. The descending trend in the serum cholesterol concentration in dry pregnant buffaloes compared to lactating buffaloes was observed. There was drop in calcium level during early stage of lactation (8.19±0.83 mg/dl) than the normal healthy buffaloes (11.21±0.19 mg/dl). As the stage of lactation progresses the serum calcium level increased. Serum magnesium concentration in various groups of buffaloes did not differ significantly. Early lactation showed highest susceptibility for ketosis and hypocalcaemia. The metabolic disorder associated with hypophosphatemia was significantly high in dry (advance pregnant) buffaloes.
