Abstract

The present report was done on 42 buffaloes which were identified with hypocalcemia. Confirmation of the hypocalcemia was done by serum calcium levels estimation. Electrocardiographic assessment was carried out with base apex lead system and recorded the prolonged QT and QTc interval. Based on present study, electrocardiography can be utilized for assessment of the buffaloes with hypocalcemia diagnostic as well as therapeutic response.
