The experimental design of this study was included (12) Friesian calves aged between 3-5 weeks. Calves were divided into two groups. Group I consisted of (8) calves were infected experimentally with 1.5 x 10“ of Salmonella typhimurium and often that treatment with chloramphenicol and electrolytes uid were takes place. Group II consisted of (4) calves were infected with organisms but without treatment.
The clinical ndings of the disease were characterized by two forms which includes the septicemic and enteric forms.
Haematological changes revealed a variable number of the total and differential leukocytic count, increased PCV, bnnogen and decreased of the total plasma protein. .
The changes in the acid-based balance indicate the development of metabolic acidosis.
