Therapeutic management of theileriosis in cross-bred cattle

Abstract

Blood sample was collected from the affected animal for the presence of suspected haemoprotozoan infection and to record the haematological status. Blood smear examination revealed presence of Theileria annulata infection. Crossbred cattle was treated with Buparvaquone at dose rate of 2.5 mg/kg body weight intramuscularly and repeated after 7 days along with supportive therapy. After treatment, the clinical signs disappeared and animal health status improved. The observation showed successful treatment of the animal.
