Abstract

Ten cows with retention of foetal membrane (RFM) and six cows delivering normally were included in the present
investigation. Blood samples were subjected for estimation of certain haematological and biochemical constituents. The total
leucocytic count as well as eosinophil, basophil and monocyte percentage did not vary significantly between cows with RFM and
normal cows. Neutrophil count in RFM cases was significantly lower (P < 0.01 ), whereas lymphocyte percent in RFM was
significantly higher (P < 0.0 I) than the values for normally delivered cows. The serum calcium, inorganic phosphorous, ALT_ and
AST concentration in RFM cases did not differ significantly with normal parturient animals. On the contrary, the ALP activities
were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in cows with retained fetal membrane (35.38± 1.69 IU/L) in comparison to normal cows
(25.73±1.79 IU/L).
