Abstract: In order to find out the haematobiochemical changes in goats suffered from oesophagostomosis and other gastrointestinal parasite, 200 goats slaughtered at Cantonment Board slaughter house, Mhow were screened to study the haematobiochemical alteration in infected goats. In haematological findings of oesophagostomosis and other gastrointestinal parasitic infection, significant decrease was in evidence in mean values of total erythrocyte count (TEC), haemoglobin (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV) in mixed parasitic infection whereas mild decrease was found in animals infected with Oesophagostomum spp. when compared with unaffected goats, the mean values of total leucocyte count and neutrophil count was significantly increased whereas mild increase in lymphocyte and eosinophil counts was noted in animals infected with Oesophagostomum spp. and mixed infection. However, monocytes were increased moderately in chronic cases of oesophagostomosis. Decrease in the values of serum protein and serum calcium was recorded whereas increased values of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was recorded both in mixed as well as Oesophagostomum infected goats with no changes in serum creatinine.
