Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the alteration in hematobiochemical parameters in suspected infected cattle and the efficacy of different acaricides in control of tick infestation in some private cattle farms in Egypt. A herd of forty cattle were used and divided into 2 groups: first group (10 apparent healthy) second group (30 suspected diseased) which sub divided equally (10 each) Angas, Simmental and Holstein. Stained thin blood smears were taken from suspected diseased cattle for the identification of and the other for estimating selected biochemical parameters. Hematological results from diseased cattle revealed significant decrease (p ≥ 0.001) in values of PCV, Hb and erythrocytic count (Angus, Simmental and Holstein) in comparison in control group which indicated anemia. Biochemical results showed significant increase (p ≤ 0.001) in total protein, total bilirubin and ALP in diseased group cattle. Regarding to therapeutic trials for all suspected diseased cases and accordance to hemogram analysis, biochemical panel analysis and average tick number before and after treatment. We can concluded that using Deltamethrin 5% with herbal mixtures as chemical acaricides showed a great effect in competing tick infestation and recovery of animals to state nearly to healthy state animals.
