Abstract
The present study was designed to study the incidence of dystocia in various reproductive disorders present in bovines in Tarai region of Udham Singh Nagar and Nainital districts of Uttarakhand. , which indicated 14.62 % incidence of the dystocia in the study area. Also to study the physiological, hematological and biochemical changes occurred in dystocia cases of cows and buffaloes immediately before and after the correction through various methods like caesarean operation, traction, fetotomy, rolling plus traction, rolling plus hormonal and hormonal. In cattle, the maximum of incidence of dystocia was recorded in winter season followed by summer and rainy season. However, in buffaloes, the maximum incidence of dystocia was recorded during rainy season followed by summer and winter season. In present study, total 37 cases of dystocia were recorded. Out of these, 7 cases were corrected through caesarean section, 5 cases corrected through fetotomy, 5 cases corrected through traction, 10 cases corrected through rolling plus traction, 5 cases corrected through rolling plus hormonal and 5 cases corrected through hormonal method. By applying these techniques in dystocia affected animals, 25(67.57%) males and 12 females (32.43%) calves were delivered. Out of which, 13(35.13%) live and 24 (64.86%) dead calves were found. In dystocia, physiological, hematological and biochemical parameters variations were recorded before and after the correction of dystocia in animals. The physiological status of the animal assessed through rectal temperature, heart rate, pulse rate and respiration rate. The hematological and biochemical parameters analyzed in our study were TEC, TLC, Hemoglobin, PCV, lymphocyte, neutrophil, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil total protein, calcium, phosphorus, glucose, cholesterol, cortisol, BUN, ALT, AST, and creatinine. The cortisol was significantly higher during before and after the correction in all the groups. Glucose was significantly higher during before and after the correction of dystocia with rolling plus traction, rolling plus hormonal and hormonal methods. ALT and AST was significantly higher in traction and rolling plus hormonal methods of correction. The value of creatinine significantly lower before the correction of dystocia.
