Epidemiological, clinical and hematobiochemical studies on hemotoxic snakebite in bovines

Snakebite is a conflict between venomous snakes and humans as well livestock considered neglected tropical disease. The present study aimed to investigate the hospital prevalence, clinical hemato-biochemical aspects of hemotoxic snakebite in bovines. overall prevalence bovines was found be 0.93%. Highest observed August month during monsoon season female with higher cases buffaloes. highest occurrence reported native Marathwadi buffalo, non-descript Deoni cattle > 4 years 1-4 age group forelimbs hindlimbs morning evening hours. Ascending swelling over limbs extending upward lameness case bite on while asymmetrical face, occasional signs bleeding like melena, hematuria, epistaxis from site were prominent affected Highly significant increase heart rate respiration rate, decrease rumen motility Hemato-biochemial analysis showed highly leukocyte count, erythrocyte count PCV, granulocyte monocyte platelet capillary blood clotting time, bilirubin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine alkaline phosphatase creatine kinase levels compared healthy
