    CLINICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND ENDOCRINOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN CATTLE
    (AAU, Anand, 2003) AHLAWAT, ANSHU R.; DERASHRI, H. J.
    The present investigation on "Clinical, Biochemical and Endocrinological Diagnosis of Pathophysiological Conditions In Cattle" was undertaken on crossbred animals (n=22) at the Department of Animal Reproduction, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus Anand. The study was carried out during the months of September 2002 to February 2003. The experimental animals were located at Nandini Hospital, Panjarapole, Surat. A preliminary examination of the reproductive tract of the animals was made and based on it the animals were divided into two groups viz. animals with evident physiological oestrus formed the cyclic group of animals, while the animals which had failed to exhibit oestrus since last two to three months, having non functional and smooth ovaries were placed in the non-cyclic group of animals. The anoestrus animals were given treatment in the form of GnRH (Receptal, 5 ml, i/m). Blood collection was done at different intervals of time and the animals coming to oestrus were inseminated. Pregnancy diagnosis was done at the end of 45 days. Seven animals conceived in the cyclic group of animals while none conceived in the non-cyclic group. The animals were studied for the Biochemical, Metabolic and Hormonal parameters. The mean values for Progesterone, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Glucose Manganese and Magnesium were significantly (P< 0.05) higher in case of cyclic animals as compared to the non-cyclic animals. While the mean values for Calcium, Phosphorus, Copper, Cobalt, Zinc and Iron were higher for the non-cyclic group of animals.
