    Studies on Certain Metabolic Profiles in Pregnant Ewes
    (Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011-07-15) Mahesha, N.; Chandrashekara Murthy, V.; Krishanaswamy, A.; Devaraj, M.; Girish Kumar, V.; Ramachandra, S.G.
    A study was conducted to evaluate the metabolic profiles of pregnant Bannur sheep of Karnataka, with the objective to identify the metabolic changes during various stages of pregnancy and also to associate the biochemical profiles in maternal serum to different stages of pregnancy and of growing fetus. Thirty pregnant ewes were categorized in to three equal sized groups (n=10) of early, mid and late gestation using ultra sound findings. Blood glucose, total protein, Albumin, globulin, creatinine, cholesterol, blood urea, serum calcium and phosphorus were estimated at different stages of gestation. The blood glucose decreased significantly from early to late pregnancy. The total protein, globulins and urea and were higher early pregnancy compared to their level at mid and late pregnancy. In contrast albumin concentration increased from early to late pregnancy. The serum cholesterol at peak during early pregnancy and reduced significantly by mid pregnancy with no further significantly falls during late pregnancy. Whereas serum creatinine concentration has shown no significant difference as pregnancy advance. The serum calcium increased significantly to early to mid, mid to late pregnancy whereas no change in phosphorus levels were observed from early to late pregnancy. The magnitude of changes was greater towards the end of gestation could be attributed to the nutrient requirements of ewes. The present study clearly demonstrate the increased nutritional requirement of pregnant ewes, this fact necessitates better managerial practices during last month of gestation to reduce the possibilities of occurrence of metabolic disorders

    Pregnancy Diagnosis in Sheep by Transabdominal Method
    (Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011-06-15) Stanzin Thakchos; Chandrashekara Murthy, V.; Krishanaswamy, A.; Honnappa, T.G.; Bhaskaran, R.; Girish Kumar
    The present study was conducted to detect the pregnancy by using B-mode real time ultrasound using 3.5 and 5 MHz probe by transabdominal method on twenty Bannur ewes maintained at Department of Instructional Livestock Farm Complex and ten pregnant ewes presented for the pregnancy diagnosis at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Veterinary College Bangalore, were used for the present study. The objective of the study was to determine the earliest day at which pregnancy could be detected and describe the chronological characteristics of pregnancy from Day 25 to Day 60 of gestation. The present study revealed that the pregnancy could be detected at 25 days after mating by detection of gestational sac with 23.3 percent accuracy. The foetal heartbeat and placentomes were detected with 100 percent accuracy from 45 to 50 days of gestation. Further, leg buds and vertebral column were seen in all the ewes at 55 to 60 days of gestation. It is concluded that pregnancy diagnosis in sheep with 100 percent accuracy can be accomplished between 40 to 50 days post mating using transabdominal ultrasonography.

    Comparison of Flank and Ventral Midline Laparotomy for Ovariohysterectomy in Dogs
    (Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011-09-15) Murthy, C.N.A.; Murthy, V.C.; Krishanaswamy, A.; Honnappa, T.G.; Jamuna, K.V.; Nagaraj, B.N.
    To evaluate the two different laparotomy approaches to accomplish ovariohysterectomy in dogs of different ages was used. The animals were randomly divided into two equal (n = 6) groups of A and B. In group A ovariohysterectomy was performed by ventral midline approach, where as in group B ovariohysterectomy was performed by flank approach. In the present study duration of surgery, length of surgical incision, cost of surgery, complications peri and postoperatively and clinical and haemobiochemical parameters were assessed. A negligible bleeding was noticed in group B compared group A due to surgical trauma to the muscles. The duration of surgery from point of incision to closure of surgical wound was 11.50 ± 0.42 and 7.16 ± 0.65 minutes in group A and B respectively, length of surgical incision was 2.05±0.22 and 1.10 ± 0.06 cm in Group A and B respectively and cost of surgery was 368.3 ± 4.94 and 305.8 ± 5.97 rupees in group A and B respectively. There was no any serious complications were encountered during and post-operatively in both groups. However, minor wound complications were noticed in group B compare to group A. The surgical wound healed after 10days. However, in uneventful cases surgical wound healed in 7 days. There was no significant variation in physiological parameters like rectal temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate and pulse rate in both the groups and within the groups of different periods. There was no significant variation in haemto-biochemical parameters in both the groups. Hence, the results shows that the flank approach can be a good alternative to the traditional ventral midline approach for ovariohysterectomy in dogs.
