Abstract

This study was conducted by using cefquinome for the treatment of diarrheic calves. 20 diarrheic Holstein calves (3- 15 day old) were used and divided into 2 groups (10 animal / group). The first group was injected intramuscularly by cefquinome (2mg/kg body weight). The second group was served as control . Results revealed a significant increase on total leucocytic count, globulin, aspartate transaminase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea and creatinine. On the other hand there were a significant decrease in total erythrocytic count, hemoglobin content, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, neutrophil count, thrombocyte count, total protein and albumin in cefquinome treated group compared to the control one.
