| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Abandoned cows, reared in 18 Goshalas in different districts of Himachal Pradesh were examined clino-gynaecologically for reproductive status. Overall 321 abandoned cows diagnosed to be affected with 402 reproductive ailments (few of them with multifactor etiology) were taken for this study. These animals were treated as per the condition diagnosed. Uterine discharge samples of cows diagnosed as endometritis were subjected to culture sensitivity tests in Nutrient broth and Mueller Hinton agar. Blood samples were collected for estimation of minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Cu, Zn, Co, Mn. Na, K and Cl), biochemicals (Total Proteins, Cholesterol, ALT, AST, ALP and GGT), and hormones (T3, T4, TSH, cortisol, progesterone, estradiol-17β and insulin). There was highest prevalence of endometritis (27.8%) followed by cervical disorders (14.43%) which included cervical fibrosis, cervicitis, non-patent cervix and kinked cervix etc. However management errors were detected in 38.80 per cent animals. The antibiogram of uterine discharges indicated highest sensitivity for fluoroquinolones derivatives and gentamicin followed by tetracycline. Whereas high resistance was recorded forMetronidazole, Penicillin,Cloxacillin andNitrofurantoin. All bacteria were resistant toCotrimoxazole. Copper concentration significantly increased in recovered abandoned cows suffering from endometritis and treated anestrus cows, irrespective of recovery. Inorganic phosphorus concentrations significantly increased only in recovered true anestrus animals. The post-treatment recovery could be followed in 220 cows with 280 reproductive problems. A good proportion of endometritic cows (21.69%) responded to treatment whereas only 2.17 percent of the animals affected with cervical problems conceived. High post treatment recovery was recorded in true anestrus (42.17%) and silent estrus (56.25%) cows. In all 37 (16.82%) abandoned cows conceived out of total 220 cows followed to evaluate post-treatment recovery. Principal contributor to reproductive problems in abandoned cows was technical errors committed by personals handling genitalia (50.00%) of which only 12.75 per cent were treatable. Whereas, much higher (44.45 %) post treatment recovery rate was recorded in cows (38.80 %) suspected to have managemental problems. | en_US |
