Description Animals (85) were studied to search out the most reliable marker of high mortality of neonatal buffalo calves. Over and above the control calves, the calves treated with neem oil and their periparturient dams were also included. Profile of erythrocytes of periparturient cows and buffaloes was almost identical, except ESR ofthe buffaloes to the tune of 12 nlnl/h and 23 mm/h, respectively, during pre-and post-partum periods. However, the higher values ofESR in buffaloes were also recorded, in neonatal buffalo calves, though, at lower ebbs. The totalleucocytes were higher in periparturient cows compared to buffaloes, but the same was in reverse order in calves of both species. The L : N ratio was higher in periparturient cows (1.76 and 4.4). However, the same was significantly lower in buffalo calves (0.8 at precolostral feeding and 0.5 at 91 st day of neonatal life). The blood platelet count was higher in buffalo calves throughout the neonatal period under study than the cow calves and their dams. Adnlinistration of Neem oil @ 10 ml/day orally exhibited the beneficial effects in so for as haematological improvement is concerned. The total plasnla protein and fractions of the periparturient dams was nearly 10 g %, but it was only 6-7 g % in the neonatal calves of both the species. Prothronlbin time of buffalo calves was higher than the cow calves. The low protein profile of neonatal buffalo calves is indicative ofjuvenile function of the liver and other defense making systems.
