چکیده
Aim: Present study was carried out to study the association of seminal vesicle weight with steroidal (testosterone and estrogen) concentration in buffalo bulls. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 pairs of seminal vesicles were collected from buffalo bulls (irrespective of age and breed) and categorized into group I (<5 gm), group II (5-8 gm) and group III (>8 gm) on the basis of mean seminal vesicles weight for establishing relationship. Results: The mean concentration of testosterone in seminal vesicle fluid showed, significantly (p<0.05) higher value in group III (0.54±0.09 ng/ml) compared to group I (0.33±0.03ng/ml), however, difference between group III and II (0.51±0.05 ng/ml) was non-significant. Similarly, mean estrogen concentration also showed a significantly (p<0.05) higher value in group III (16.31±4.70 pg/ml) compared to group I (2.51±1.09 pg/ml) but values in group III and I were non-significant with group II (8.99±2.55 pg/ml). Conclusion: Present study indicated positive correlation between seminal vesicle weight with testosterone (r=0.365, P< 0.05) and estrogen (r=0.528, P<0.01) concentration respectively in seminal vesicle fluid.

The aim of the present was to evaluate the prevalence of H9N2-specific antibodies among water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). To this end, blood samples were obtained from 80 randomly selected water buffaloes, 40 cases of which were obtained in the winter months, and 40 cases were sampled in the spring months. The presence of H9N2-specific antibody was determined by hemaggl...

To evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. Type I abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. Serum concentrations of Hp and SAA were measured. There was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffa...

The Indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. These variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. This study was conducted to evaluate variations in the Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation wit...
