- <p>Anaemia is one of the most common haematological disorders affecting domestic animals <br>characterised by a reduction in the number of red blood cells or haemoglobin concentration in <br>blood. It could be caused by blood loss, over-destruction of erythrocytes, nutritional deficiencies, <br>infections, parasitic infestations, toxicities or bone marrow disorders. Anaemia has a detrimental <br>effect on health, productivity, growth, reproduction and working efficiency of livestock and <br>companion animals. There are different classifications of anaemia like classification based on <br>morphology, etiology and bone marrow response. Clinical signs are frequently seen as pale <br>mucous membranes, weakness, reduced stamina, rapid breathing and loss of appetite. Proper <br>diagnosis includes history taking, physical examination, haematological evaluation and laboratory <br>investigations. Early diagnosis and treatment like nutritional supplementation, parasite control, <br>blood transfusion and control of underlying diseases are important for successful recovery. <br>Balanced nutrition, regular deworming, vaccination, hygienic management and routine veterinary <br>check-ups are preventive measures and play a vital role in reducing the incidence of anaemia in <br>domestic animals.</p>
