Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the biochemical profiles and prevalence of Red Chittagong Cattle and local cattle in 5 regions of Chattogram state. All the serum values were within the normal limit, except the level of magnesium was found significantly higher in Red Chittagong heifer than a local heifer. Within the same breed, calcium showed significant (P <0.05) variation between cow and heifer. In both Red Chittagong and local cattle, all the values were found to decrease with the advancement of age except the values of magnesium. The prevalence of Fasciola spp., Paramphistomum spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Bunostomum sp., Haemoncus sp., Trigostrongylus sp., Tapeworm, Coccidial oocysts, B.coli, Babesia sp., Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp. were higher in local cattle than Red Chittagong Cattle.

Keywords:
