چکیده
Aim: The present study was carried out to analyse morbidity and mortality rate in cattle in village areas of Pune division in the Maharashtra state. Materials and Methods: The data of total 1538 cattle were collected from 421 cattle owners by stratified two-stage random sampling design and analysed statistically by SAS 9.3 software for evaluation of Chi-square analysis. Result: Overall morbidity and mortality rates in cattle were 22.24% & 4.42%, respectively. Reproductive (7.09%) and digestive (5.14%) diseases were major causes of morbidity in the study area. Adult cattle showed high (28.97%) morbidity due to reproductive problems which are major challenges under village conditions in study area. Digestive (1.43%) and nutritional (0.85%) diseases were major causes of mortality of cattle. Chi-square analysis revealed that the morbidity was significantly (p<0.01) related with age groups while mortality was significantly (p<0.01) related with age and sex. Highest mortality rate (16.81%) were observed among calves and male were at higher (17.86%) mortality risk than that of female. Conclusion: Morbidity and mortality studies provide an important tool for determining the health status and guidelines for managemental practices, which will ultimately help in increasing the milk production and improve the economic status of livestock owners.

Screening the partial coding region of metallothionein isoform-2 gene in Zebu cattle
Metallothionein (MT) is important because it binds tightly to heavy metals to decrease their toxicity. DNA was isolated from 30 toxic metal exposed and 30 toxic metal unexposed Zebu cows. The amplified metallothionein isoform-2 (MT-2) PCR product (489 bp) was further used for PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing. MT-2 TaqI PCR-RFLP revealed homozygous genotype (AA) except for the E23 animal (AB). The ge...
