Summary:The present study was conducted to analyze the various biochemical parameters in spontaneous brain disorders of cattle and buffaloes which are being slaughtered at Kolkata, India. The mean CSF glucose concentrations in infected cattle and buffaloes were significantly lower than the values of control groups which indicated bacterial infection. The CSF protein levels of the infected cattle and buffaloes were significantly higher when compared with the values of control groups. The MDA assay showed that the average CSF status of the infected cattle and buffaloes were significantly higher when compared to that of control groups. The mean total leukocyte count of infected cattle and buffaloes were significantly higher than the values of control groups, which suggested the exudative properties of CSF due to bacterial meningitis.
