SERO-PREVALENCE OF BRUCELLOSIS AND COMPARISON OF SERUM BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS BETWEEN INFECTED AND HEALTHY GOATS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
A sero-prevalence study was carried out in caprine population of Sidhi (M.P.) using Rose Bengal plate test and comparison of serum biochemical parameters between Brucella infected and healthy goats was done. Sixty blood samples were collected from different areas of Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh and sero-prevalence study was carried out according to age and body condition of animals. Following screening by Rose Bengal plate test 7.69% and 17.64% sero-conversion was seen in young and adult animals, respectively. In reference to body condition good and poor body conditioned animal showed 5.88% and 16.27% sero-prevalence, respectively. The overall sero-prevalence calculated was 13.33% as performed by RBPT. RBPT positive serum samples were analyzed for serum biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen (BUN),) alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). The result of biochemical parameters showed that value of total protein and blood urea nitrogen did not show any significant changes (P<0.05) in Brucella infected goats. Value of glucose and albumin significantly decreased (P<0.05) whereas value of cholesterol, globulin, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase increased (P<0.05) significantly. Sero-prevalence study is important in calculating the population of animal, which are exposed to infection and to detect anti Brucella antibody in serum. Biochemical parameters studies revealed the change in blood profile of animals following Brucella infection and observe the deteriorative changes in animal health.
