Bovine fibropapillomatosis has been reported previously by various authors in India, but the sero biochemical profile of the disease has not been described so far in Tamil Nadu, elsewhere in India. The present study is on hematological, sero biochemical and histopathological changes in eight naturally infected calves were compared with eight healthy calves. In appetence, localised skin warts in the lips, upper eyelids, lower jaws almost entire head and neck region followed by intermittent scratching were noticed in calves which revealed a significant reduction (p <0.001) in Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Haemoglobin Concentration (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, total proteins, sodium and potassium. The biochemical values from affected calves had significantly (p<0.001) higher values of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (16.5 ± 0.60 IUL-1), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (181.1 ± 3.10 IUL-1), Gamma glut amyl transferase (GGT) (33.2 ± 2.40 IUL-1) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (107.2 ± 2.40 IUL-1) in comparison with healthy calves (13.4 ± 2.10, 132.0 ± 4.00, 20.4 ± 2.30 and 42.2 ± 1.90 IUL-1) respectively. However, affected calves had significantly (p<0.001) lower values of total protein (4.2 ± 0.04 gdL-1), sodium (100.5 ± 7.10 m EgL-1) and potassium (5.2 ± 0.62 m Eg L-1), when compared to healthy calves (7.6 ± 1.44 gdL-1, 126.0 ± 7.10 and 8.1 ± 0.81 m EgL-1) respectively. The cutaneous papilloma wart specimens revealed finger like projection of papillary proliferation by histopathologically. In the present study bovine fibro papillomatosis occurs in crossbred calves in this region were reported.
