To investigate the postpartum anestrus, 21 nondescript dairy cows raised in and around Biratnagar have been included in this study. The basic information regarding the breeding history, nutritional status, milk yield, suckling and frequency of milking were obtained on request from the owners. Fecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of all cows to diagnose the parasitic infestations. Rectal palpation was performed to explore the status of the ovary and other reproductive tracts. Blood samples were collected through jugular vein puncture in vials with and without anticoagulant for hematological and serobiochemical analysis. Rectal palpation revealed inactive ovaries in most of the dairy cows. The fecal and blood samples had been forwarded to Regional Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Biratnagar for further analysis. Fecal examination resulted in severe parasitic infestations in 90.47% of dairy cows. The predominantly observed parasites were Paramphistomum (38%) followed by Paramphistomum + Nematodes (19%), Nematodes (9%), Liver fluke + Nematodes (9%), Liver fluke (5%), Liver fluke + Paramphistomum (5%) and Nematodes + Moniezia expansa (5%). Among all, 47.61%, 42.85%, 28.57%, 23.80% and 4.76% of cows revealed lower values for total protein (TP), hemoglobin (Hb), calcium (Ca), packed cell volume (PCV), glucose (Glc) and inorganic phosphorus (P), respectively. However, 23.80% and 9.52% of cows showed higher values of inorganic P and Glc. It was concluded that lower values of TP, Hb, Ca, PCV, Glc and inorganic P rightly held responsible for the condition of postpartum anoestrus in cows. An improved managemental practices and nutritional status of cows is suggested for the management of postpartum anoestrus in cows.","PeriodicalId":182682,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115734572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The larvae are altricial and had a standard length ranging from 3.06 to 30.06 mm, elongated and low body, head ranging from small to moderate, eyes from large to small, and from the flexion stage the maxilla and mandible began to elongate and form a pointed beak with teeth. The total myomeres range from 49 to 50 segments (32-36 preanal and 14-18 postanal). In more developed individuals, the dorsal and anal fins do not overlap, a taxonomic characteristic that, together with the total number of myomeres, differs from other sympatric congeners.

The relationship in Tetraconasoma was shown to be significant (Spearman's Rho rs=-0.89443, p (2-tailed) = 0.04052). An evolutionary preference for temperate environments appearing to have led to climatic constraints on dispersal based primarily on precipitation seasonality gradients was previously suggested. The antennal cone cells in the Tetraconasoma are suggested to be responsible for this sensory adaptive radiation and variation.","PeriodicalId":182682,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125529061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
