Abstract

This study aimed to verify the hematological and biochemical alterations in buffaloes with clinical (CH) and subclinical hypophosphatemia (SCH). For this intention blood and serum samples from 40 adult female water buffaloes were collected. These animals were divided into 3 groups according to the clinical signs and serum phosphorous level. The first group was ten apparently clinically healthy buffaloes and was assigned as a normal control group. The second and the third groups were fifteen buffaloes for each CH and SCH groups. Anorexia, weakness, emaciation, and pale mucous membrane were the most clinical findings in all affected cattle.  Red urine was an additional sign in buffaloes with CH. Mean erythrocytic count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit were significantly decreased in CH and SCH, while total leukocytic counts were significantly increased in both groups when compared with the control group. The main biochemical changes were significant decrease in serum levels of phosphorous, total proteins, albumin in diseased groups. Serum urea, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin were significantly elevated in both affected groups. Meanwhile, serum calcium level was significantly elevated only in the CH when compared with the control group. It could be concluded that SCH and CH are accompanied with anemia, changes in total and differential leukocytic counts, and alterations in the hepatic and kidney functions.
