- Abstract
The research work was conducted on forty tick infested Achi cattle divided into four groups. Each group consisted of 10 animals i.e. G1 (3 years), G2 (4 years), G3 (5years) and G4 (6 years) to investigate the hematological, parameters such as erythrocytic, hemoglobin, total leukocytic and thrombocytic counts. The overall means of erythrocytic count, hemoglobin content, leukocytic count, and platelets count were 6.655±1.467m/mm³, 8.567±2.1270g/100ml, 6828.27±917.90/mm³ and 4.305±0.4224/mm³ respectively. There was no significant effect of age on various parameter of blood due to tick infestation. The results were influenced by intensity of ticks found on each animal. In light of the results of the present study proper attention should be given to managmental conditions and Acaricides should be used at regular intervals to ensure ticks control.
