Hematological And Biochemical Studies In Tuberculin Test Positive Reactors

The current study was conducted to correlate the interrelationship between the tuberculosis positive reactors with non-reactors with respect to the hematological and biochemical parameters. A total of 126 animals from an organized dairy farm were subjected to single intradermal tuberculin test following an outbreak and a total of 15 animals each from both the reactor and non reactor group were included for the study. There were significant alterations in Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Hemoglobin content, Total erythrocyte count, Monocyte, Neutrophil and Eosinophil number & Mean corpuscular volume values in reactors when compared to non-reactors.
