| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The study was conducted in Livestock Instructional Farm Complex, CSKHPKV and Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, CSK Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University Palampur. Thirty five post-partum cows were divided into two main groups viz. normal (eotocia) and abnormal calving (dystocia). The normal calving cows were further divided into different groups based on the treatment given and were subjected to various examination to assess uterine infection, uterine involution rate, onset of ovarian activity and thereby to evaluate the effect of different treatments. Some fertility parameters were also recorded. Uterine discharge was collected from cows upto 29 days post parturition for bacterial isolation, identification and their sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic agents. The cytobrush technique was used to record the presence of poly morpho nuclear (PMN) in the uterus and to correlate it with sub-clinical endometritis. E. coli and B. cereus were predominant bacteria isolated from uterine discharge after parturition. The study revealed the efficacy of antibiotic (day 1 to 5 postpartum) and PGF2α (on day 8 postpartum) administration against uterine infections. Fluoroquinolone group antibiotics were found most sensitive against bacteria isolated. Percentage of poly morpho nuclear cells on Day 43 postpartum was less than 10 per cent (an indicative of subclinical endometritis) in the uterine discharge of cows in all the treatment groups, with the least percentage when PG administered on day 8. There was no significant difference in pattern of reduction in size of gravid and non-gravid uterine horns (transverse diameter) and endometrial thickness recorded ultrasonographically following different treatments. Time taken to complete uterine involution, based on attaining equal sizes of previously gravid and non gravid horns, was the fastest when PG was injected on day 8. Resumption of certain ovarian activities e.g. presence of first post-partum follicle (>10 mm) and first post-partum CL was significantly better (P<0.05) following treatment with PG on day 8 in comparison to other treatment or control groups. Duration of manifestation of first behavioral estrus and calving to conception interval were also the shortest following treatment with PG on day 8 in subsequent pregnancy. | en_US |
