In: Zagazig Veterinary Journal 2011.v.39(1)Summary: The present study was conducted for studying the clinical signs, haematological and biochemical changes in sheep and goats suffering from decrease feed intake, emaciation, distension in the abdomen and recumbency. Two blood samples were collected from each animal for studying haematological and biochemical alterations. Postmortem examination was applied and small specimens were taken from the fore stomach for histopathological examination. The results revealed a significant decrease in Hb., PCV% and RBCs while the total number of WBCs was within the normal range. Biochemical analysis revealed that there was a significant decrease in total serum proteins, albumin, globulin, Na, Cl. K and Phosphorus. There was a significant increase in serum glucose level. In postmortem examination there were indigestible foreign bodies in the form of plastics and ropes with different sizes, shape and length. Histopathological examination revealed a congestion and subcellular edema in some samples. In alive animals blood biochemical changes along with the clinical signs, external palpation ofthe rumen might be of some diagnostic assistance.
