Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to evaluate the adaptive capability between native and crossbred cattle during summer and winter using certain serum biochemical variables. Eighteen apparently healthy lactating cattle of same age group between 4 and 5 years were selected and divided into three groups (n = 6) with consideration of breed as Group I: Crossbred, Group II: Tharparkar and Group III: Sahiwal. Blood samples were collected from each animal for 6 weeks during summer and 6 weeks in winter. A significant high values of all the biochemical parameters under the study, viz., total protien, albumin, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and cholesterol were noted in summer in comparision to winter within each group. Also, Group III showed higher values of glucose, creatinine, cholesterol both in summer and winter when compared to the other study groups. Our results suggested that the heat stress has a more deleterious effect on the plasma biochemical parameters irrespective of the breed. In addition, among native breeds and crossbred, the native cattle showed minimum biochemical variations with the season and thus can be considered as higher thermo-adaptable than the crossbred cattle.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
