A seven year old female goat weighing 33 kg was presented with history of ingestion of unknown of Urea fertilizer before half an hour. Clinically animal was active and physiological parameters like rectal temperature and respiration rates were within normal range. Tachycardia and mild bloat with reduced rumen motility was also noted. The goat was given Inj. Normal Saline@ 25ml/kg body weight along with Inj. Dexamethasone@ 2mg/kg, Inj. Atropine Sulphate@ 0.02mg/kg body weight intravenous. Inj. Enrofloxacin@ 2.5mg/kg body weight intramuscular was given.

Transition period is a critical period of dairy cow in terms of physiological stress. Rapid body fat mobilization, fatty infiltration of liver and impaired performance are characteristics of late pregnancy and early lactation. Choline acts as a lipotropic factor. The present study was planned to study the effect of high energy levels with or without rumen protected choline before calving on milk production and metabolic profile of crossbred cows.

The summer/winter difference in plasma volume may be related to the regularly observed summer fall in red blood cell values and total protein. In a fully dehydrated camel with 65% body water, alimentary water has been reported as 12%, which is similar to the figure for tropical cattle. The total water content of the camel is considerably greater in hot dry weather (up to 75%) than in cooler periods (down to 50%), which indicates its physiological water conserving capability.
