Diaphragmatic hernia is the passage of abdominal viscera into the thoracic cavity through a congenital or acquired opening in the diaphragm. Commonly it is the reticulum which herniates into the thorax, however, the omasum, abomasum, loop of intestine, spleen or liver may also get involved without exhibiting additional specific clinical signs. The disease is generally associated with the presence of foreign bodies in the reticulum. The present investigation was conducted on eighteen clinical cases of buffaloes suffering from diaphramatic hernia presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, LUVAS, Hisar from August 2013 to May 2014 and these were divided into three groups of six animals each. Various biochemical parameters were observed/recorded before the animals were operated for rumenotomy and were taken as base values. The present study concludes that amid of plasma glucose levels rest of the biochemical parameters does not vary significantly. Only in group 2 plasma albumin and total protein values show non-significant progressive decrease in their respective base values at different time intervals of treatment regime. A non-significant decrease was observed in plasma glucose levels in group 1 and 2 while in group 3 it showed non-significant increase.
