Abstract
The current study was carried out on 90 diarrhoeic cattle calves (30 in each season) to find variations in the physiological and haematological parameters linked to diarrhoea in calves of cattle over the rainy, autumnal, and winter seasons. The physiological parameters viz., eye, muzzle and skin temperature, heart rate and respiration rate revealed significantly (P<0.05) higher in the rainy season compared to autumn and winter seasons while the rectal temperature was almost similar in all three seasons. Haematological profile of diarrhoeic calves such as white blood cell count, basophil and monocyte were higher in winter as compared to autumn and rainy season. While lymphocytes were significantly (P<0.05) high in the rainy season as compared to autumn and winter. However other haematological parameters revealed no significant difference among the rainy, autumn and winter seasons. It can be concluded that physiological and haematological parameters change in rainy, autumn and winter seasons in diarrheic calves and the season did not affect much on these biological parameters, indicating diarrhoea superimposing the effect of season.
