Phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria is an economically important production disease of lactating and advanced pregnant buffaloes characterized by hemoglobinuria, hemolytic anemia and mortality in severe cases of anemia. In view of the high prevalence of phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria in buffaloes in study region, the present study was planned with objective to evaluate the efficacy of whole blood transfusion in Phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria affected buffaloes suffering from severe hemolytic anemia. A total of 12 buffaloes suffering from hemoglobinuria, hemolytic anemia, hypophosphatemia and negative for any hemoprotozoan infections were randomly divided into two Treatment groups (1 and 2). Group 1 buffalo were treated with standard treatment of Phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria while Group 2 buffaloes were treated with standard treatment of Phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria along with whole blood transfusion. Clinical and hematological parameters showed faster clinical improvement in Group 2 buffaloes with recovery rate of 100% compared to slower recovery in Group 1 buffaloes with recovery rate of 83.33%. At study interval of 12 h post-treatment, Group 2 buffaloes showed increase in values of hemoglobin and PCV compared to Group 1 buffaloes. So, it is concluded that whole blood transfusion can be used as adjunct therapy in buffaloes suffering from Phosphorus deficiency hemoglobinuria to increase the recovery rate and survival rate.
