Biochemical changes in the livers of bovines naturally infected with Fasciola gigantica.
The present study was carried out to determine the total carbohydrate, total protein and total lipid content in the non-infected (Control) and naturally infected with Fasciola gigantica liver samples of buffaloes and cows. The estimated total protein and lipid content in the infected livers of these animals were found significantly higher as compared to their control samples. Total carbohydrate content in the infected livers of buffaloes and cows did not show any significant change as compared to their control animals.
