Abstract

The present study was conducted on the fodder sample and rumen contents received from the Animal Husbandry Department, H.P. to investigate the suspected cases of poisoning in buffaloes. The samples were subjected to various qualitative and quantitative toxicological analysis. Qualitatively both fodder sample and rumen contents were found positive for the presence of nitrate/nitrite by diphenylamine and salicylic acid test. Through quantitative estimation, the concentration of nitrate/nitrite in the fodder sample was found to be 0.2 per cent.
