Present study was undertaken to know certain haematological and serum profile in FMD affected and recovered cattle. The RBC count in FMD affected, recovered and apparently healthy group were 5.18±0.11, 5.50±0.13 and 5.68±0.10X106 /µl respectively. The RBC count was found to be decreased significantly (Plood glucose concentration in FMD affected group (47.58±2.28 mg/dl) showed a significant (P9.63±1.68 mg/dl). The serum calcium was significantly (P/dl). From this study, it can be concluded that, FMD causes significant decrease of RBC count, total protein, albumin, BUN, calcium and significant increase of glucose.
