The study was performed in Murrah buffalo-bull calves to assess the developmental dimensions of the prostate and seminal vesicle (SV) glands from 1 to 30 months of age with transrectal ultrasonography. The width of prostate gland ranged between 1.39±0.07 and 2.65±0.14 cm. The rate of change in the mean width of the gland was gradual and almost same from one to thirty month (P<0.05). The correlation co-efficient between width of prostate gland and age was r2 = 0.73. The mean circumference and length of the SV gland at one month to thirty months of age ranged from 6.14±0.32 to 13.05±0.34 cm and 2.61±0.09 to 6.02±0.27 cm, respectively. The correlation co-efficient between length and age, width and age, and circumference of SV gland and age were r2 = 0.68, r2 = 0.55 and r2 = 0.74, respectively. From this study, it is concluded that the ultrasonographic evaluation of prostate and SV along with growth rate could be very practical tool for the assessment of puberty.

Herein, the effectiveness of locally sourced and autoclaved nylon mosquito net mesh for the repair of external abdominal hernias was investigated. Eleven animals (7 cattle and 4 buffaloes) having hernial ring sizes of 8 to 30 cm in diameter were divided into two Groups 1 (5 animals) and Group 2 (6 animals). In Group 1, nylon mosquito net mesh was used, and in Group 2, polypropylene mesh was used for the repair of defects. The animals were sedated with xylazine HCl and given local anaesthesia during surgery. Over the external hernial sac, an elliptical skin incision was made. The internal hernial sac was bluntly dissected and freed down to the hernial ring. The internal hernial sac was opened, and the hernial ring was repaired with nylon mosquito net mesh or polypropylene mesh using the inlay technique. After hernioplasty, the sac and subcutaneous tissue were repaired with prolene suture material. The skin incision was closed with simple interrupted mattress sutures using monofilament polyamide suture material. Antibiotics and analgesics were given postoperatively, and povidone iodine was used to treat the suture line daily. The skin sutures were removed on the 10th to 15th postoperative day, depending upon the wound condition. Mild inflammatory swelling in Group 1 was observed at the incision line, which had completely subsided by the 15th postoperative day. The wounds healed by first intention in both groups. In any case, no recurrence was seen in a follow-up period of 3 months. Without clinical signs of wound dehiscence, infection, or recurrence, all animals recovered uneventfully.

The aim of present investigation was to evaluate the comparative therapeutic efficacy of isotonic (0.9%) saline solution (NSS) and hypertonic (7.5%) saline solution (HSS) along with supportive medical treatment in buffaloes suffered with forestomach impaction. A total of 26 buffaloes were undertaken in two groups. In Group 1, twenty buffaloes were infused with isotonic (0.9%) saline solution 20 ml/kg body weight and in Group 2 six buffaloes were infused with hypertonic saline solution (7.5%) 2 ml/kg. The physical parameters (heart rate and respiration rate) were decreased more significantly in Group 1 after treatment. Similar trend was observed in the pretreatment hematological parameters viz. Hb, PCV, TLC, neutrophil count and ESR after fluid therapy which was indicative of expansion of plasma volume. There was not much effect on rumen liquor parameters after fluid therapy. The biochemical profile (Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total protein, glucose, globulin and fibrinogen) was more significantly declined in Group 1 after fluid therapy, whereas plasma sodium and chloride levels significantly increased, and plasma potassium level more significantly decreased in Group 2. The recovery rates were 60% and 17% respectively in Group 1 and Group 2. Thus, Isotonic (0.9%) saline solution appears to more effective in therapeutic management of forestomach impaction in buffaloes.

Generally, standard lactation milk yield is predicted based on test-day records collected at monthly intervals. Test-day milk production at different time intervals other than monthly intervals can be used to predict lactation milk yield of field bovines in field conditions. With the same possibility, this study was carried out to predict lactation milk yield in Jaffarabadi buffaloes from various test-day milk yield data retrieved for different time intervals. A total of 1,15,339 daily milk yield records in 176 lactations of 1st to 6th parity of 30 Jaffarabadi buffaloes lactating at the Cattle Breeding Farm, Kamdhenu University, Junagadh, Gujarat over a period of 28 years (1991 to 2018) were used for the study. Single monthly test-day milk yield recorded on 125th, 155th or 185th day i.e., 5th, 6th and 7th monthly test day yield alone provided only 50% reliability in determining the standard lactation milk yield. Daily peak yield alone was also found to be a poor predictor for lactation yield. Prediction equations using combination of consecutive two monthly test day yields from 4th to 10th monthly test day were found reliable source for prediction of lactation milk yield providing accuracy up to 82.19% whereas, daily peak yield in combination with single monthly test day yield at mid and late lactation was also predicted lactation milk yield with accuracies up to 72.23%. Milk production recorded at weekly interval could also be used to approximate milk production using the equation 15.35+6.91 × Sum of all weekly test-day yields, with precision of 98.93% or milk production recorded at fortnightly interval by the equation 18.04+14.65 × Sum of fortnightly test-day yields, with precision of 97.14%.

Present communication was focused on the ultrasonographic evaluation of the prokinetic effect of neostigmine in buffalo calves with abomasal atony. Six buffalo calves were selected for the study with absence of rumination, loss of feed intake, mild distended abdomen, achezia and frequent history of laying down and getting up with reduced rumen motility. Abomasal atony was confirmed by the ultrasonographic assessment of the abomasum motility. Calves were administered with injection neostigmine 0.02 mg/kg body weight slow intravenously along with 500 ml of 0.9% normal saline under the ultrasonographic monitoring. Abomasal motility was initiated by 18 to 42 minutes and complete abomasal motility was noticed by 150 to 180 minutes after administration of medications. Clinical improvement was noticed on the third day of therapy and efficacy of the neostigmine was noticed by ultrasonography. Present study concludes that neostigmine has prokinetic effect in buffalo calves with abomasal functional motility disorders. Ultrasonography is the best tool for assessment of abomasal motility without any adverse reactions and complications.

Five hundred dairy households in the rural areas of Punjab state were interviewed through comprehensively designed questionnaires to assess the knowledge and experience of farmers regarding the hormone-based strategies to overcome anestrus and getting the buffaloes pregnant. About 81.8% dairy households were unaware (P<0.05) about any estrus induction or synchronization hormonal protocol and majority (65.5%) of these belonged to households with <5 animals. Out of households having awareness about hormonal protocol use in buffaloes, the majority (58.2%) belonged to households with >15 animal. Out of dairy farmers using hormonal protocols, the proportion of illiterate was 14.8%. Out of dairy farmers not aware about hormonal protocols, the proportion of illiterate was 52.3%. Data analysis of 91 dairy households who had used hormonal protocols revealed summer (65.9%) and anestrus (82%) as the major underlying reasons for their use in buffaloes. Low success rate (20.2%), high cost (50%) and non-availability of doctor (29.7%) were the reasons for the irregular use of hormonal protocols. The success rate of hormonal protocols under field condition in terms of conception was 47.1%. In summary, the major bottlenecks in acceptability of hormone-based therapeutics strategies under filed conditions are illiteracy, high cost of therapeutics strategies and lack of awareness in buffalo farmers especially in households with <5 animals.

The successfully detorted uterine torsion buffaloes were either subjected to routine post-detorsion treatment (n=10) or in addition to routine treatment, intracervical hyaluronidase enzyme was administered (10,000 IU; 2.5 ml at each of 3, 6, 9, 12 o’clock position of cervix) immediately post-detorsion (n=10), followed by repeated administration at 6h interval (0, 6, 12, 18 h) till complete cervical dilatation or till 24 h post-detorsion. The time elapsed between successful uterine detorsion to complete cervical dilatation was reduced (P<0.05) in buffaloes subjected to enzyme treatment in comparison to their control counterparts (754.6±114.0 vs. 213.5±33.1 minutes). In buffaloes delivering dead fetus, following intracervical treatment, the interval between detorsion to complete cervical dilatation was reduced (P<0.05) to 240.8±44.0 minutes in comparison to their control counterparts (838.1±126.2 minutes). Moreover, following hyaluronidase treatment, the time interval from detorsion of a buffalo to complete cervical dilatation with respect to degree of uterine torsion was much lower (P<0.05) in treated compared to their control group counterparts having either <180o or ≥180o uterine torsion. The fertility parameters (number of days to first estrus and duration of service period) were improved (P>0.05) in hyaluronidase-treated buffaloes of both the groups (<18 h or ≥18 h duration of torsion) as compared to their control counterparts. Conclusion: Intracervical hyaluronidase treatment hastens the cervical dilatation in successfully detorted uterine torsion affected buffaloes with a subsequent potentially beneficial impact on fertility.

The records of 7782 Mehsana buffaloes sired by 184 sires maintained at Dudhsagar Research and Development Association (DURDA), Dudhsagar Dairy, Mehsana, Gujarat born during 1989 to 2012 were collected and analysed to examine the effect of non-genetic factors viz. period and season of calving and age at first calving. The least squares analysis was used for estimation of various non-genetic factors on First Lactation Milk Yield (FLMY), First Lactation Fat Yield (FLFY), Average Fat Percentage (AFP) and Age at First Calving (AFC). The least squares mean with standard error of FLMY, FLMY, AFP and AFC were estimated to be 1900.68±7.65 lit., 135.04±0.57 kg, 7.11±0.11 percentage and 1407.18±4.36 days, respectively. Highly significant (P≤0.01) effect of all the non-genetic factors (period and season of calving and age at first alving group) under study was observed on FLMY, FLMY and AFP in Mehsana buffaloes. Further, highly significant (P≤0.01) effect of season and period of birth was recorded on AFC. It is worthy to note that in Mehsana breed evaluation programme these factors should be considered as they have great influence of them.

Highly significant (P≤0.01) effect of all the non-genetic factors (period and season of calving and age at first alving group) under study was observed on FLMY, FLMY and AFP in Mehsana buffaloes. Further, highly significant (P≤0.01) effect of season and period of birth was recorded on AFC. It is worthy to note that in Mehsana breed evaluation programme these factors should be considered as they have great influence of them.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The present study evaluated the impact of intracervical hyaluronidase enzyme on cervical histomorphology in successfully detorted uterine torsion affected buffaloes. These animals were either subjected to routine post-detorsion treatment (n=10) or in addition to routine treatment, hyaluronidase enzyme (10,000 IU; 2.5 ml at each of 3, 6, 9, 12 o’clock position of cervix) was administered intracervically immediately post-detorsion (n=10), followed by repeated administration at 6 h interval (0, 6, 12, 18 h) till complete cervical dilatation or till 24 h after detorsion. The pre-treatment cervical biopsy samples were collected immediately after detorsion and post-treatment samples were collected at complete cervical dilatation which happened within 24 h after detorsion in all the cases. Following histomorphology, the quantification of collagen fibers as mean percentage area occupied collagen out of total tissue area in pre-treatment cervical biopsy samples of all the buffaloes was revealed as 21.0±5.7. During post-treatment period, at the time of complete cervical dilatation, this value exhibited a decrease in control (9.1±2.2; P>0.05) as well as hyaluronidase group (5.8±2.1; P<0.05). In summary, collagen fiber dispersion in cervical tissue of successfully detorted uterine torsion affected buffaloes suggested their role in cervical dilatation, whereby, intracervical hyaluronidase was able to enhance the cervical tissue collagen dispersion.
