ASSESSMENT OF HEMATOBIOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF POSTPARTUM CROSSBRED ANESTROUS COWS

Abstract

Hemato-biochemical parameters are the key features of good physiological condition, where good physiological condition is the precursor of good production. For this reason the present study was aimed to observe the hemato-biochemical parameters of postpartum crossbred anestrous cows. The study was carried out during the period from January /2016 to June/2016. The objectives of the study aimed to assess the mean values of different hematological and biochemical profile of postpartum crossbred anestrous cows and determining differences among the mean values of different hematological and biochemical profile between cyclic and postpartum crossbred anestrous cows in the study areas. A total number of 30 crossbred cows weighing 220-250 kg were divided into two groups. Cows in group- A (target group) (n=15) were suffering from post-partum anestrous of more than 90 days. Cows in Group-B (control group) (n=15) were cycling cows of cross breed. Blood samples from cows with anestrous and cyclic were collected for hematological, biochemical and hormonal status analysis. T-test was performed to check the mean and standard error where confidence interval (CI) was 95%. All the analysis was performed at the 0.05 significance level. The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) was not significantly lower and Hemoglobin (Hb %) percentage was significantly higher in anestrous cows than normal cycling control cows. Packed Cell Volume percentage (PCV %) in anestrous group of cows was significantly lower than that of control group of cows. The Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC) was significantly higher in anestrous cows than normal cycling control cows. The Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) in anestrous group of cows was significantly higher than that in the control group of cows. In Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC), neutrophil in anestrous group of cows was significantly higher showing the presence of an inflammatory process and eosinophil was significantly lower than that in the control group of cows. The mean total serum protein was not significantly lower in anestrous group of cows than that of control group of cows. The mean bilirubin concentration in anestrous group of cows was significantly higher than in control group of cows .The mean Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) and the mean Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) was significantly higher in anestrous group of cows than that of control group of cows. The mean values of progesterone, Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) of anestrous cows were significantly lower than in control group of cows. It is suggested that there is no specific hematological and biochemical marker for anestrous in crossbred cows rather it may be hormonal cause for anestrous.
