    STUDIES ON METABOLIC AND HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILES IN CROSSBRED COWS WITH CYTOLOGICAL ENDOMETRITIS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2021) AVINASH R.G.; A M KOTRESH
    The cytological endometritis (CE) is an inflammation of the endometrium without visible clinical signs significantly impairing the fertility in dairy cows. The study was undertaken to assess the metabolic stress and hematological profile influencing CE in crossbred dairy cows reared in the central dry zone of Karnataka. Apparently healthy crossbred cows in 3-11th week postpartum (WPP) were divided into four groups (each N=8) viz., Group- I as control having crossbred cows at 3-11th WPP estrus, Group- II at 3-5th, Group- III at 6-8th and Group- IV at 8-11 WPP estrus. CE was diagnosed based on cytobrush technique. A significant(p<0.05) increase in concentrations of BHBA and NEFA found in all CE groups compared to control group. There was no significant difference (p<0.05) found in blood glucose, serum total proteins, creatinine, AST, ALT levels in all CE cow groups compared to control group. The BUN, total cholesterol and bilirubin levels were found significantly(p<0.05) higher and calcium and phosphorous values were lower in CE affected cow groups compared to control group. There was no significant (p<0.05) difference in blood parameters such as WBCs, lymphocytes, HB, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, platelet among all CE groups when compared to control group. There was significant (p<0.05) increase in percentage of neutrophils and reduced RBC levels were found in CE affected cows. There was a positive correlation found with respect to NEFA and BHBA with lymphocytes, neutrophils activity in all CE affected cow groups. There was negative correlation found between calcium and phosphorous with lymphocytes, neutrophils activity in all CE cow groups. Key words: Cytological endometritis, Metabolic stress, Hematological profile, Body condition score.
