N2  - This study was carried out on 126 growing buffalo-calves of both sexes, their ages varied from 3-9 months old belonged to some private farms in Assiut Governorate. These calves were subjected to careful clinical examinations. 36 calves were clinically healthy and served as control group, the remaining 90 calves were suffered from signs of bronchopneumonia. The study revealed that the most prominent clinical sings of bronchopneumonia in affected buffalo-calves included moist cough, nasal discharge which varied from mucoid to mucopurulant with harried respiration, anorexia, and depression. Some complicated cases were died. Blood gases analysis revealed significant decrease (P< 0.01) in blood pH, meanwhile carbon dioxide tension (Pco₂) in infected bufflo-calves revealed highly significant increase (P< 0.01). Oxygen tension (Po₂), base excess (B.E) and bicarbonate ( Hco₃̄) levels in calves affected with bronchopneumonia were insignificantly affected and still within the normal accepted physiological levels
