Relation of various physiological blood parameters with the postpartum reproductive efficiency in cattle
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Certain blood parameters indicate the postpartum reproductive performance in cattle. In the present study, blood samples were collected from 25 lactating animals on 10thday of calving and thereafter at weekly intervals upto 12 weeks postpartum. The samples were analyzed for glucose, cholesterol, serum urea nitrogen (SUN) and total proteins, which were correlated with the postpartum reproductive efficiency in cattle. Animals with more amount of blood glucose (55.49mg/dl) came to heat within 2 months compared to those with lesser blood glucose (50.20mg/dl), which came to heat after 2 months postpartum. There was no significant difference in the blood total protein concentration between the two groups of animals i.e which conceived with in 3 months and another group which conceived after 3 months. Significantly more blood cholesterol (181.8mg) was present in animals which came to heat within 2 months than animals with cholesterol (159.9mg/dl) which came to heat after 2 months postpartum. Animals with lesser BUN (14.74 mg/dl) came to heat early compared to those with more amount of BUN (15.69 mg/dl). There was significant correlation of blood glucose, cholesterol and BUN with first postpartum heat.
