Comparison of complete blood count parameters between Anaplasma centrale positive and negative blood samples of Sahiwal breed cattle collected from District Layyah during 2017–2018. Data is expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM). P-value indicates the result of two sample t –test calculated for each studied parameter when compared between parasite positive and negative blood samples collected during a particular season.
