Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the clinico-pathological changes and therapeutic evaluation of gamma-benzene hexachloride and cetrimide along with vit A, D3, E and H in Black Bengal goat infested Psoroptes cuniculi mange. The study was conducted on 14 Black Bengal goats; 6 clinically infested with Psoroptes mange (group I) and 8 healthy goats (group II). Haemato-biochemical profile viz., haemoglobulin concentration, packed cell volume, total leukocyte count, albumin and albumin globulin ratio revealed significantly (P < 0.05) decreased level; whereas, globulin, alanine aminotransaminase, aspartate aminotransaminase, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen level were significantly (P < 0.05) increased in goats of group I animals as compared to healthy control (group II) on day 0. Gamma-benzene hexachloride and cetrimide along with adjunct therapy (group I) showed parasitological recovery on day 21 while complete elimination of clinical signs observed on day 28 of post-therapy in all clinical cases.
