Abstract
In the present study analysis of dystocia in Graded Murrah buffaloes
presented to Obstetrical ward during a two year period revealed a high
prevalence of maternal dystocia (80.80%) over fetal dystocia (19.19%) was
observed. The prevalence of uterine torsion was highest (95.62%) among
the maternal dystocia and was 77.27 % among all the dystocia cases
presented. Detailed obstetrical examinations were carried out in 148
buffaloes which exhibited signs of uterine torsion and were treated by
using Modified Schaffer’s method. A total of 79 (53.38 per cent) buffaloes
were detorted with 1-2 rotations, 53 buffaloes (35.81 per cent) with more
than 2 rotations and 16 buffaloes (10.81 per cent) failed to respond for
detorsion and were subjected to caesarean section. Buffaloes which
responded for detorsion had a dilated cervix (46.97%), incompletely dilated
cervix (43.94%) and closed and intact cervix (9.09%). The buffaloes which
were successful for detorsion (n=35) were randomly divided into two
groups, in which 15 buffaloes had completely dilated cervix and 20
buffaloes which had incompletely dilated cervix. Hemato-biochemical
parameters of these buffaloes were compared with normally calved
buffaloes (n=10). Hemogram revealed a significant (P<0.05) reduction in hemoglobin, packed cell volume, eosinophil, and lymphocyte counts in uterine torsion affected buffaloes with completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorison when compared to normally calved buffaloes. The total leucocyte, neutrophil and monocyte counts were significantly higher in buffaloes having completely dilated cervix, incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion as compared to normally calved buffaloes.
Biochemical analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in
calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and MDA concentrations in buffaloes
having completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion
when compared to normally calved buffaloes. There was a significant
(P<0.05) increase in glucose, β hydroxy butyric acid, creatinine
phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and certain oxidative stress
parameters like maloinaldehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione
peroxidase concentrations in the uterine torsion affected buffaloes with
completely dilated and incompletely dilated cervix post detorsion compared
to eutocia buffaloes. Buffaloes with incompletely dilated cervix (n=58) post detorsion were randomly, subjected to two treatment protocols and cervical changes and efficacy of the treatment were recorded. Buffaloes of each group were further grouped based on the texture of the external os of cervix into grade 1 (smooth and soft cervix), grade 2 (partially lobulated and moderately soft cervix) and grade 3 (lobulated and hard cervix). The buffaloes in Group I are treated with Dextrose salines, Calcium Borogluconate, Oxytocin, Valethamate Bromide along with periodic massage with warm CMC gel and overall mean interval between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix was 229.60±10.69 minutes with a success rate of 86.21%. Group II buffaloes (n=29) were treated with Dextrose salines, Calcium Borogluconate, Oxytocin, Valethamate Bromide and massage with CMC gel in combination with Misoprostol tablet (PGE1) @ 1000 μg powdered and applied to the cervical lumen and subsequent hourly massages were done with CMC alone. The overall mean interval between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix was 203.13±5.41 minutes with a success rate of 100.00%. It was concluded from the present study that the therapeutic efficacy of Group II protocol was better as it required lesser number of massages, less mean interval (min) between treatment and complete dilatation of cervix with 100.00 per cent success rate. Further, it was evident that Misoprostol caused cervical softening and dilatation of the cervix without any side effects.
