 ABSTRACT

Bovine respiratory disease is a multifactorial disease and the primary cause of both bovine morbidity and mortality.The present investigation was conducted to know the clinic-epidemiological and comparative antimicrobial efficacy in clinical cases of pneumonia in buffaloes brought at VCC, LUVAS, Hisar from different places of Haryana with history like inappetance/anorexia, fever, respiratory distress, coughing and nasal discharge. The study was undertaken for a period of five months i.e. from November 2017 to April 2018. The results showed that maximum cases were recorded from Hisar district in month of February and susceptible age was found to be 2 to 5 years. Haematological findings showed significant neutrophilia and lymphopenia. Moxifloxacin (52.77%) showed better clinical efficacy than ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, cefquinome and other antibiotics (ceftriaxone, oxytetracycline and chloramphenicol), which was determined on basis of clinical recovery and haematological parameters after 5 days of treatment.

Key words: Clinical, epidemiology, Therapeutic efficacy, Antimicrobials, Bovine respiratory disease
