Abstract:

The present work was carried out to study the variation in biochemical properties of cervico-vaginal mucus of pregnant and non pregnant animals which could help to design suitable tool in future for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. Cervico-vaginal mucus samples were obtained from 30 buffaloes (12 pregnant and 18 non pregnant) and some biochemical parameters were compared. Means of pH, sodium, potassium and chloride had no significant difference between the estrous cycle and pregnancy. Total sugar content showed significant differences in pregnant and non pregnant animals from 6th to 21st day (P

Characteristics of Cervical Mucus for Estrus Detection in Murrah Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)

The objective of the experiment was to study the changes in different characteristics of cervical mucus of Murrah buffaloes in relation to occurrence of estrus. The Murrah buffaloes maintained at Livestock Research Centre (LRC), ICAR-NDRI, Karnal were classified into three groups viz. heifers, primipara and pluripara. Cervical mucus was collected on the day of estrus prior to the artificial ins...

Ectoparasites of buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Kurigram district of Bangladesh

Epidemiology of ectoparasites of buffaloes was studied in Kurigram district of Bangladesh from November, 2007 to October, 2008. A total of 236 buffaloes were examined, among them 61.86% were found infested with one or more species of ectoparasites. Three species of ectoparasites were identified of which, two species were arachnids, namely, Boophilus microplus (13.98%), Haemaphysalis bispinosa (...

Hemato-biochemical and hormonal profiles in post-partum water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis).

AIM The objective of the present study was to compare serum as well as follicular fluid (FF) biochemical and hormonal profiles along with hematological parameters in postpartum estrus, anestrus, and cystic buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Postpartum buffaloes were selected in three different groups (within 40-60 days of parturition at estrus-Group-I, postpartum >90 days at anestrum-Group-II, ...

Evaluation of the Heatsynch protocol in Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) during hot summer season

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Heatynch protocol on plasma estrogen concentration in Murrah buffaloes and to evaluate if the Heatsynch protocol induces estrus in Murrah buffaloes. All treated animals responded to the treatment by displaying obvious signs of estrus. The mean plasma estrogen concentration among the individual buffalo was 191.9 ± 68.3 pg / ml after E...

Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol during the oestrous cycle in swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis).

Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol were measured in 5 cyclic swamp buffaloes. Progesterone levels began to increase after Day 5 (Day 0 = the day of oestrus) and reached a plateau after Day 10. A rapid decrease in progesterone levels occurred during the 5 days before oestrus, followed by a sustained increase in oestradiol concentrations. Basal LH levels decreased towards th...
