  • Prognostic Value of Cardiac Biomarkers in Naturally Infected Anaplasmosis, Theileriosis and Babesiosis Associated Cardiac Damage in Dairy Cows
    S. Yogeshpriya, P. Selvaraj, M. Saravanan, M. Venkatesan, M. Veeraselvam, et al.
    Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2026
    Background: Treating severe forms of hemoprotozoan diseases are challenging. Myocardial damage in such parasitic diseases are often neglected during routine clinical practice. The present study was designed to assess the deleterious effects of naturally infected cattle with hemoprotozoa on the cardiovascular system and the consequent myocardial involvement. Methods: The positive animals were subjected to clinical examination, haemato-biochemical analysis, estimation of cardiac biomarkers such as cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB), lactic dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH), ultrasonography and Base Apex Electrocardiography to find their prognostic significance in cattle with hemolytic anemia. Result: A significant change in these biomarkers was noticed post treatment, indicating their utility as prognostic markers as well as to assess the efficacy of therapy.
  • Abomasal disorders in cattle: Insights into prevalence, clinico-pathology and ultrasonographic examination
    SARAVANAN M, HEMALATHA P, PREMALATHA N, JAYAKUMAR K, SUMITHA P, et al.
    Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2025
    This study was carried out to study the prevalence and comprehensive approaches in the diagnosis of abomasal disorders in cattle. The prevalence of abomasal disorders was 41.7% of abomasal ulcer, 33.3% of right displacement of abomasum, 16.7% of left displacement of abomasum, 5.6% of abomasal bloat and 2.8% of abomasal impaction. Crossbreed Jersey cow and recently calved animals were predominantly affected. Absence of feed intake, decreased milk yield, absence of rumination, bruxism and fed with rice were recorded as common history of abomasal disorders. Predominant clinical findings of animals affected with abomasal disorders were depressed demeanour, bruxism, pale conjunctiva, reduced rumen protozoa, melena and tachycardia. Nine cases were positive for fecal occult blood test and 10 cases of melena were noticed. Reduction in Hb, PCV, RBC, MCHC, TP and globulin were observed in the abomasal disorder cases. Increased BUN and bicarbonate level were noticed. Reduction in serum calcium, phosphorous and potassium were noticed. Rumen chloride was increased in all the abomasal disorder cases. Highly significant increases in the serum pepsinogen and NEFA were noticed in all the abomasal disorders. The ultrasonographic changes were assessed in all abomasal disorders based on location, echogenicity of abomasal contents and motility. Staphylococcus thermophiles, Bacillus thermophiles, Candida spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Fusobacterium spp. were isolated from abomasal fluid. Comprehensive approach enables early detection and timely implementation of treatment and management protocols for abomasal disorders in cattle.
  • Therapeutic management of non-perforating abomasal ulcer in cattle
    HEMALATHA P, SARAVANAN M, PREMALATHA N, JAYAKUMAR K, KARTHIKA K, et al.
    Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2024
    This study focussed on the therapeutic management of non-perforating abomasal ulcers in cattle. A total of 442 cattle having gastrointestinal disorders were screened based on the presence of melena and positive faecal occult blood tests (FOBT). Among these cases, only 15 were identified as non-perforating abomasal ulcers and further confirmation was done by serum pepsinogen. Out of this, 12 cases were selected for the study and cattle were divided into two groups, Group II received Inj. Ranitidine @ 3 mg/kg b.wt intramuscular BID for 5 days and Group III cattle received Inj. Pantoprazole @ 1 mg/kg b.wt intravenous, SID for 5 days. The treatment evaluation by clinical improvement, haematology, serum biochemistry, serum electrolytes, rumen chloride, serum pepsinogen, serum NEFA and blood gas changes were performed on day 0 of pre-treatment and day 5 post-treatment in both groups. Pantoprazole @ 1 mg/kg b.wt SID IV for 5 days showed early recovery as compared to ranitidine against non-perforating abomasal ulcer in cattle.

  • Comprehensive approaches to diagnose thoracic cavity disorders (TCD) in cattle
    MUTHAMIZHSELVAN P, PREMALATHA N, MANI SARAVANAN, SATHESHKUMAR S, SENTHILKUMAR S, et al.
    Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2024
    The aim of the study was to document the prevalence and diagnosis of thoracic cavity disorders (TCD) in cattle. All the selected animals subjected to detailed anamnesis; physical, clinical haemato-biochemical, electrolytes, cardiac biomarker, thoracic radiography and ultrasonographic examination were performed. The prevalence of TCD was 0.76%, among these; cardiac disorders (CD) was in 37.0%, lung disorders (LD) in 22.0%, lung and cardiac disorders (LCD) in 22.0% and diaphragmatic hernia (DH) in 19.0%. Highest prevalence of thoracic cavity disorders was recorded in Jersey cross bred cattle (62.0%). More than 3 years of age and pregnant animals were the mostly affected. The most predominant clinical signs was recorded in the order of grunting, dyspnea, abduction of elbow, brisket edema, jugular vein engorgement, jowl edema, rumen hypo-motility and muffled heart sound. Haematology revealed significant reduction of Hb, PCV and RBC. Significant decrease in the mean values of serum TP, albumin, glucose, cholesterol and increases in ALP and AST levels were observed. Significant increase in the cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB, LDH and cTnI) was noticed. The presences of foreign body, DH and pericardial effusion were in radiographic examination. Ultrasound examination revealed anechoic fluid (37.50%), mixed echogenic fluid (18.75%), echogenic fibrinous strands (21.85%) on both of respiratory and cardiac disorders. Comprehensive approaches could facilitate early diagnosis of thoracic cavity disorders, as well as to assess the diseases status and to initiate appropriate therapeutic protocols in cattle.

  • Estimation of Myelin Basic Protein Levels in Natural Cases of Canine Distemper Encephalomyelitis
    M. Ranjithkumar, S. Dey, M. Saini, R. Singh, M. Saravanan, et al.
    Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2022
    Background: Canine distemper virus (CDV) affects both white and grey matter in the central nervous system (CNS). It causes demyelination of white matter tracts, which releases myelin basic protein (MBP) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). MBP levels in CSF could therefore indirectly indicate the extent of white matter damage. The objective of this study was to determine MBP levels in the CSF of dogs infected with natural cases of neurologic distemper. Methods: In this study samples from healthy dogs, clinical cases of CDV and stray dogs from in and around the institute were collected for investigation. The infection of the CNS was established by estimating the albumin quotient and, for 16 cases, by histopathology. CSF biochemical parameters were analysed for 35 sero-positive clinical cases of neurologic distemper. MBP levels in samples were estimated by quantitative ELISA. Stray dogs (6 cases) were also screened for this purpose. Result: MBP levels in CSF were significantly (p≤0.05) increased in natural cases of distemper encephalomyelitis and stray dogs relative to controls. Three of the neurologic distemper cases clinically recovered despite high MBP levels, and two stray dogs also had higher MBP concentrations. High CSF MBP may therefore not be a useful marker for predicting the outcome of neurologic distemper.

  • Rare survival of high-tension electrocution shock in a crossbred Jersey cattle: a complete profile on critical care monitoring
    S. Yogeshpriya, M. Saravanan, P. Selvaraj, R. Sindhu, M. Venkatesan, et al.
    Iranian Journal of Veterinary Research, 2022
    Background: Accidental electrocution was more common in animals and death was mostly due to shock and cardiac arrest. Survival of animals or humans could be possible if victims receive immediate medical support. Case description: A 3-year-old crossbred Jersey heifer was presented to the Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Referral Clinic of the Veterinary College and Research Institute, Orathanadu, with a history of accidental electrocution by broken high-tension overhead power transmission line during grazing in the paddy fields. The animal was dull and depressed, dark red, and some areas were charred in appearance on the dorsum and limbs. The animal showed difficulty walking due to the electrocution burn injury and was poorly responding to the surroundings. Clinical examination revealed subnormal temperature, polypnea, pale mucous membranes, ruminal atony, and arrhythmias on auscultation. Findings/treatment and outcome: On point of care (PoC) hematology testing, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and microcytosis were observed. PoC electrolyte analysis revealed hypocalcemia (ionized calcium 0.89 mmol/L), mild hypochloremia, and severe hypokalemia (2.81 mmol/L). PoC biochemistry revealed hypoglycemia (41 mg/dl). PoC elevated levels of serum cardiac troponin (0.33 ng/dl) indicated cardiac damage. Aspartate aminotransferase (1794 U/L), CK-MB (699 U/L) and LDH (6.7 U/L) were also elevated. On PoC urinalysis, proteinuria, myoglobinuria, and glucosuria were observed. Evident clinical recovery, wound healing, and improvement in animal activities were observed. Conclusion: High-voltage electrocution injury is a serious type of accident with the potential risk of multi-organ damage and death. Early diagnosis of electrocution and immediate management enhances the expectancy of complete recovery.
