Histologically, all the epithelial tumours were adenomas and were further sub-classified as simple adenoma (3 cases), fibro-adenoma (2 cases) and a solitary case of papillary cystadenoma. Sex cord-stromal tumors were recorded in 4 cases that included a solitary case of granulosa cell tumour in the right ovary and luteoma in 3 cases (one in right and two in left). Among the tumours of mesenchymal origin, haemangioma was observed in 2 cases involving each of left and right ovary.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140354692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interval is further extended by the occurrence of post-partum disorders especially retained fetal membranes (RFM) which in turn causes heavy economic loss to the farming community. A total of 16 buffaloes at 45 to 60 days post-partum period including 8 buffaloes treated for retained fetal membranes (RFM) and 8 normally calved (NC) were selected and dewormed orally with Albendazole and administered orally with 50 g mineral mixture for 15 days after deworming. All the buffaloes at 60 to 75 days post-partum were inserted with CIDR intravaginally and left in situ for 9 days. All the buffaloes received an intra-muscular injection of 500 µg PGF2α at 24 h prior to CIDR withdrawal. At 48 (first AI) and 72 h (second AI) of CIDR removal, the buffaloes were artificially inseminated. Further, those buffaloes which failed to conceive and returned to oestrus (subsequent oestrus) following breeding at induced oestrus, were artificially inseminated twice at an interval of 24 h. Pregnancy diagnosis was done by rectal examination at 60 days post-insemination. Retention rate of CIDR from insertion to withdrawal was 100%. The percentage of ovulatory response assessed by ultrasonography following oestrus induction in NC and RFM affected buffaloes was 100 and 87.50%. The first service, second service and overall conception rates were 25, 37.50 and 62.50 and 62.50, 25 and 87.50 in RFM and NC groups respectively.In both the groups, the serum mean progesterone levels increased from the time of selection to the time of PGF2α injection but at first AI, the serum progesterone levels reached below 0.5 ng/ml and at 10 days post AI, there was an elevated progesterone levels in both the groups. The serum oestradiol levels increased from the time selection of animals to the time of first AI and then declined at 10 days post AI. The mean serum oestradiol levels were higher in NC buffaloes from the time of selection of animal to first AI in all the groups when compared to RFM affected buffaloes. It is concluded that oestrus induction with CIDR plus PGF2α with prior deworming and mineral mixture supplementation could be used in post-partum NC or RFM affected buffaloes to achieve maximum conception rate under field conditions.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140355630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parameters like calf weight, placental weight, numbers, and size of cotyledons were observed in Jaffrabadi buffaloes and morphologically, fetal cotyledons were convex and non-pendunculated in Jaffrabadi buffaloes were found. Histological studies of small and large cotyledons showed extensive branching of secondary and tertiary villi that were longer, slender, and well developed in Jaffrabadi buffalo. A less developed basal lamina was seen in small cotyledon whereas developed basal lamina with numerous capillaries and connective tissue were observed in the large cotyledon. The diameter of trophoblast giant cells (TGC) in larger cotyledons were significantly (P<0.05) than the small cotyledons in expelled placenta at full term in Jaffrabadi buffaloes. A distinct distribution of carbohydrate and lipids in cotyledons were observed between large and small cotyledons as evident by acid mucopolysaccharides, neutral polysaccharides, and sudanophilic staining. Specific staining for calcium with Alizarin red stain showed that calcium is not present in a noticeable amount in small and large cotyledons. Isolation and culture of Jaffrabadi placental cells in M-199 medium with antibiotics and 2% FBS results in the efficient production of progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. This study has shown that trophoblast cells are the actual sites for steroid hormone production. These cultured placental cells (1x106 cells/ ml) produce Progesterone, Estradiol-17β and Testosterone in the range of 1.72 to 2.12, 16.03 to 19.51 and 0.51 to 0.58 ng/ml, respectively in Jaffrabadi buffalo.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140356016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ovarian ultrasonography and jugular vein blood sampling were carried out at 7-day interval till day 35 post-treatment or till ovulation, whichever was earlier. Control and implanted buffaloes were subjected to artificial insemination (AI) at overt or induced estrus followed by pregnancy diagnosis at day 90 post-AI. Erythrocytic lipid peroxidation (LPO) values were reduced (P<0.05) in implanted buffaloes from day 21 post-treatment onwards when compared to their pre-treatment and Control group values. However, the concentrations of erythrocytic glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were invariably higher (P<0.05) following treatment as compared to their pre-treatment and Control group values. The buffaloes ovulating in Control or Treatment group revealed higher (P<0.05) erythrocytic GPx in the Latter group. Also, between pregnant counterparts of Control and Treatment group, the Latter group buffaloes exhibited low (P<0.05) erythrocytic LPO, and high (P<0.05) erythrocytic GPx, SOD and catalase. It can be concluded that melatonin implants treatment was successful for mitigating the oxidative stress in summer anestrous buffaloes, and the status of oxidative stress parameters following treatment was better in buffaloes that ovulated or conceived subsequently.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140353526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
