| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Bamboo as possible therapeutic usages in bovine reproductive disorders and effective treatment for the retention of fetal membranes. Bamboos’ belonging to family Poaceae is considered as one of the most versatile multi-utility forest tree grasses, also known in Indians as "Green Gold." Qualitative phytochemical analyses of methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extract of different parts of Bamboo (Bambusa Balcooa) revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins and phytosterols in leaves, saponins, resins, phytosterols and phenols in stem and flavonoids, resins, phytosterols, tannins and phenols in a shoot. The content of total phenols and flavonoids in the various parts of bamboo were higher in alcoholic extract than aqueous extract. But various extract in the concentration of 1mg/ml on uterine strip placed in isolated organ bath failed to produce any contractile effect. Sixty (60) animals postpartum were given various parts of Bambusa balcooa as preventive medication during parturition revealed the time required for expulsion of fetal membrane ranged from 4.63±0.3 to 6.46±0.33 hours. The time required for the disappearance of lochial discharge ranged from 12.00±0.63 days to 15.75±0.83 days. The first heat postpartum ranged from 38.42±4.78 days to 69.50±10.43 days. The involution rate ranged from 31.25±1.09 to 35.83±1.77 days. The average number of services per conception ranged from 1.92±0.26 to 3.58±0.62. The conception rate ranged from 66.66% to 83.33%. Biochemical values of total glucose, total protein, cholesterol and urea differ significantly from 0 days to 24th day of parturition. Total progesterone level differs significantly from 0 days to 16th day of parturition. A total of sixteen (16) animals with retained fetal membranes given various combinations of different parts of Bamboo showed the time required for expulsion of fetal membranes ranged from 52.13±7.32 to 75.81±4.02 hours. The disappearance of lochial discharge ranged from 14.88±1.23 to 16.00±1.34 days. The first postpartum heat ranged from 51.25±5.51 to 64.88 ±13.88 days and involution rate observed ranged from 34.13±0.72 to 41.38±0.96 days. The average number of services per conception ranged from 2.13±0.35 to 4.25±0.45. The overall conception rate was 37.50 to 75.00%. The biochemical values of total glucose, total protein, calcium and phosphorus varied significantly from 0 days to 16th day of parturition. On the basis of above findings, it can be concluded that Bamboo is the rich source of phytochemicals can be used for the effective and alternative medicine for treatment of retention of placenta due to its cost-effectiveness and lesser side-effects. | en_US |
