Abstract
The present investigation was conducted on six cattle aged between 1-3 years to study haemato-biochemical alteration after epidural administration of ropivacaine in combination with butorphanol. The animals were administered with ropivacaine 0.75% at 0.25 mg/kg b.wt. and butorphanol at 0.02 mg/kg b.wt. in sacrococcygeal space. Haematological parameters such as Hb and PCV initially increased whereas, TEC and TLC initially decreased and reached near to their baseline value at the end of the observation period. Biochemical parameters such as ALT, AST, BUN and CRE increased non- significantly and a significant increase in Glucose value was observed till 90 minutes which returned to its normal base line value at 24 hours. Transitory and compensatory changes were noticed after epidural administration of ropivacaine in combination with butorphanol. Ropivacaine-butorphanol produces less effect on haematological and biochemical profiles. The above anaesthetic protocol could be used safely for epidural anaesthesia in cattle.
