A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HEMATOLOGY AND SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY IN LACTATING COWS & THEIR CALVES
conditions of the present study might have played a role for the differences with other studies.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
There were some limitations of this study. These are as follows:
1. Shortage of time period: This study was carried out only for a period of 30 days that was not sufficient.
3. I did not find any other such types of work done by other scientist in Bangladesh. So I could not compare my result with other scientist.
Conclusion.
Hematological and Biochemical values of crossbred lactating cows and their calves were determined, in Metro Dairy Farm, Hathazari , Chittagong from 09.08.09-08.09.09 for comparing the values between cow and calf. The result found that there is some hematobiochemical difference between cow and calf but all parameters are not within the reference range indicated in case of Holstein Friesian.
Finally hematological and biochemical values were an efficient tool for evaluation of physiological status, metabolic disorders, management problems of the farm which have great relation to health status of the animal.
