Abstract | ||||
A total of 15 goats were randomly divided into five groups (n =3): control (no treatment), deltamethrin (5mg/kg), fipronil (10mg/kg), ivermectin (0.2mg/kg), and deltamethrin & fipronil. Fleas were counted at 0-, 2-, and 6-weeks post-treatment Blood samples were collected at the same time points of (deltamethrin & fipronil) to determine hemato-biochemical parameters such as Red blood cells (RBC), White blood cells (WBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (Hct), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Total protein (TP), Albumin (Alb), Globulin (Glo), Cholesterol (Chol), Creatinine (Cr), Urea (Urea), and Glucose (Glu). Physiological performance was assessed by rectal temperature, skin temperature, respiration rate and pulse rate. The results showed that combination therapy had the highest efficacy against flea infestation compared to ivermectin treatment or the control group. The combination therapy also improved hematobiochemical parameters such as RBC, HGB, HCT, and T3 compared to the control group or ivermectin treatment. The combined therapy significantly decreased ALT, AST or Cortisol compared to the control group or single treatments. | ||||
