Abstract
The present investigation was carried out on 738 specimens of the intestinal tract of buffaloes, suspected for abnormalities were examined irrespective of age, sex, and breeds in North-West Rajasthan. The affected intestinal tissue samples were further processed for histopathological examination and revealed enteritis in 35.71% of samples. The various forms of enteritis such as acute catarrhal enteritis 15.54%, chronic catarrhal enteritis 5.88%, haemorrhagic enteritis 8.82%, necrotic enteritis 3.36%, necro-haemorrhagic enteritis 1.68% and fibrinous enteritis 0.42% were observed. It is further concluded that the enteritis contributes a major pathological affection of the lower gastrointestinal tract in buffaloes.
