Bovine Respiratory Disease is complex, multifactorial diseases process cause mortality in buffalo calves. Early diagnosis of such conditions could be difficult with the absent of noticeable clinical signs. Ultrasonography examination is a noninvasive tool that has been used frequently in the thoracic diagnosis of buffalo and cattle calves.

analgesic agent in various animal species. This study aimed to assess the side effects of diclofenac on the liver, kidney, and blood components. The study was conducted on six local breed sheep, whose blood was collected from the jugular vein before treatment (pre-treatment group). Diclofenac was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight for three consecutive days. Twenty four hour post last dose blood was collected and considered as a post-treatment group. Biochemical and blood analyses were performed. Biochemical parameters showed a significant increase in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatinine, with a significant decrease in sodium and potassium ion concentrations. Blood parameters result showed a significant decrease in mean corpuscular volume, with a significant increase in mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and total number of white blood cells. The study concluded that diclofenac within the dose and treatment period had a negative effect on the liver and kidney functions and blood components of sheep.

Auscultation of the lung is the first line for the diagnosis of lung lesions. Analysis of the auscultated sounds is promising in the diagnosis confirmation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of sound analysis and oximeter for detection of the lung lesions in buffalo calves. The study included 100 calves showing respiratory symptoms and 30 clinically healthy calves serving as a control group which aged between (2-6) months from different areas in Mosul City. A pulse oximeter was used to measure the percentage of oxygen blood saturation, then measuring sound frequencies based on multi-resolution sound wave analysis by using digital program (WavePad). Affected calves showed coughing (100%), lacrimation (88%), nasal discharge (86%) and fever (58%). The sound analysis indicated that the natural sound frequency was (221) Hz, gradually increasing to (390.5) Hz in case of pneumonia. It then became (428) Hz in calves with wheezing sound. Diminished breathing sound had a frequency of 426) Hz synchronous with pauses that lasted (0.4) seconds after each complete inhalation and exhalation cycle. An oximeter reading had a positive correlation with each nasal discharge and eye lacrimation, while it had a negative correlation with both coughing and body temperature. The study concluded that sound wave analysis and oximeter were highly accurate in diagnosing the severity of the lung lesion compared to the detection of the clinical signs.
