Effect of biostimulation on heamatological and biochemical profiles of post partum anoestrus mithun (Bos frontalis) cows

P. Perumal

Abstract :

The study was carried out in the herd of mithun maintained at Jharnapani farm, NRC on Mithun, Nagaland. In total, 32 post partum pluriparous anoestrus mithun cows (without any history of calving problems) 5-7 years of age, were divided into two groups as not exposed (NE) (n = 16) and bio stimulated (BS) (n=16) based on the exposure to mithun bull. These mithun were evenly distributed in four strains of mithun namely Arunachalee (8), Mizoram (8), Nagaland (8) and Manipur (8). In each strain, 4 mithun cows were NE and 4 were BS. In BS group, the mithun bull, 5-7years old, intact, healthy was allowed 5 hours per day from 0700 hrs to 1200 hrs daily from day 60 of post partum up to expression of heat signs (average 20.50 day) by observation of twice a day and with bull parading. The blood samples were examined for the biochemical parameters such as alkaline phosphatase (ALK), SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST), total protein, albumin, globulin, AG ratio and glucose and heamatological profiles were total red blood cells (TRBC), haemoglobin (Hb), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell Volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and total white blood cell (TWBC). It was concluded that high PCV and ALKP were significantly (p< 0.05) and other blood parameters were non - significantly higher in BS than NE mithun cows.
