Abstract
ABSTRACT:
The present investigation was carried out to study the hematological, biochemical and fertility parameters before and after different treatment protocol (antibiotic, uterine lavage, uterine lavage with antibiotic) in 24 repeat breeder crossbred cows. The overall incidence of repeat breeding syndrome was 24.73 % among the reproductive disorders recorded in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. The overall mean Haemoglobin, PCV, TLC (Thousands/ μl), TEC (millions/μl), lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophil and monocyte values in antibiotic, uterine lavage, uterine lavage with antibiotic and control groups at estrus after treatment were 11.03 ± 0.43, 10.67 ± 0.42, 11.80 ± 0.28 and 9.72 ± 0.30 g%; 33.17 ± 1.85, 32.33 ± 1.87, 33.67± 1.83 and 32.83 ± 1.66 %;7.73 ± 0.09, 8.03 ± 0.37, 8.23 ± 0.27 and 8.48 ± 0.27; 7.13 ± 0.14, 6.93 ± 0.33, 7.02 ± 0.37 and 6.22 ± 0.21; 61.50 ± 2.25 and 27.67 ± 1.42, 61.33 ± 2.30 and 30.50 ± 2.70, 62.83 ± 1.71; 26.50 ± 2.29, 55.67 ± 0.91 and 31.17 ± 1.58; 10.67 ± 1.52 and 5.17 ± 0.36, 6.33 ± 0.49 and 3.50 ± 0.82, 8.17 ± 0.69 and 4.83 ± 0.32, 5.83 ± 0.80 and 3.50 ± 0.43. The difference in the Haemoglobin, TLC (Thousands/ μl), TEC (millions/μl), lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophil and monocyte values at estrus after treatment was not significant among all the groups but was significant within the groups. But the difference in the PCV concentration at estrus after the treatment among all the groups and within the group between before and after treatment at estrus was not significant in all the groups. In the present study the mean serum total protein concentrations and serum glucose in antibiotic, uterine lavage, uterine lavage with antibiotic and control groups at estrus after treatment were significantly increased to 7.62 ± 0.17, 7.35 ± 0.19, 7.57 ± 0.19 and 6.33 ± 0.21 g% and 55.17 ± 2.17 , 55.83 ± 3.72 , 59.83 ± 1.47 and 46.17 ± 2.14 mg% respectively. The difference in the total protein and serum glucose concentrations at estrus after the treatment among all the groups and within the group between before and after treatment at estrus was significant in all the groups. The bacterial colony counts were 205.00 ± 40.86, 90.00 ± 41.78, 30.00 ± 34.38 and 169.17 ± 21.21 x 105/ml after treatment with antibiotics, uterine lavage, uterine lavage with antibiotics and control group, respectively. The mean bacterial colony counts at estrus after treatment was not significant among all the groups but was significant within the groups. These bacterial cultures were sensitive to enrofloxacin 11 (91.67%) followed by gentamycin 10 (83.33%), ciprofloxacin 9 (75.00%), ampicillin 5 (41.67 %), oxytetracyclin 3 (25.00%), amoxicillin 2 (16.67%), cephalexin 2 (16.67%) and penicillin 1 (8.33%).
The overall conception rate in repeat breeder crossbred cows treated with antibiotic, uterine lavage, uterine lavage with antibiotic and in control group was 66.66% (4/6), 66.66% (4/6), 83.33% (5/6) and 16.67% (1/6), respectively. The overall conception rate in uterine lavage with antibiotics group was the highest when compared to antibiotic, uterine lavage and control groups.
