By blood smear and polymerase chain reaction analysis, it was determined that all the buffaloes had mixed infections of T. evansi and T. annulata. The treatment of all five buffaloes was initiated with single deep intramuscular injection of diminazine acceturate 3.5 mg/kg body weight along with three dosages of long acting oxytetracycline 20 mg/kg b.wt. on alternate day. A single injection of buparvaquone on the fourth day (in 3 cases) and two doses of buparvaquone (2.5 mg kg-1) at 48 h intervals (in 2 cases) were administered. Only 3 buffaloes showed uneventful recovery after a single injection with buparvaquone. When the blood samples of all the five buffaloes were again analyzed by PCR and found all the samples were negative for T. evansi and T. annulata except two buffaloes (Two cases hading two doses of buparvaquone) which were positive for T. annulata in spite of giving the second dose of  buparvaquone. The study indicated that there might be reduced efficacy or resistance of T. annulata against buparvaquone.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45517093","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}

Oocytes (n=123) were obtained by follicular aspiration and graded according to morphological characteristics. Data regarding regional environmental factors (temperature, humidity, and daylight) were collected from a historic database of a metrological station. Statistical analysis was performed through Person correlation, one-way ANOVA and linear regression analysis, P<0.05 was considered significant. There was a correlation (P<0.05) between oocyte populations (total and viable) with temperature, humidity, and duration of daylight. ITH (index of temperature and humidity) and oocyte viability did not correlate (P>0.05) with other variables. Oocyte populations (total and viable) and environmental variables changed (P<0.05) during all the sampled months. Oocyte populations (total and viable) were affected (P<0.05) by temperature (r=-0.63; r=-0.57), humidity (r=0.46; r=0.39) and daylight (r=-0.86; r=-0.87), no association (P>0.05) with ITH or oocyte viability were identified. In conclusion, temperature, humidity, and daylight affected the oocyte populations (total and viable).

Gross examination revealed congestion, haemorrhages, oedematous changes and thickening of mucosa. Microscopically, epithelial abnormalities, inflammatory and neoplastic conditions were noticed. Epithelial abnormalities included epithelial hyperplasia, von Brunn’s nests, cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis. Inflammatory conditions such as congestion, haemorrhages and cystitis were noticed. Cystitis was classified as lymphocytic, plasmo-lymphocytic, follicular and interstitial types. However, only single case of haemangiosarcoma was observed. Polymerase chain reaction revealed the presence of DNA of only BPV-1 in one sample out of 21, while one sample showed the presence of DNA of both BPV-1 and BPV-2. On immunohistochemistry, Ki-67 expression was observed only in haemangiosarcoma and one case of plasmo-lymphocytic cystitis with immunostaining restricted to nuclei. COX-2 immunostaining was observed in one case each of flat hyperplasia, von Brunn’s nest, haemangiosarcoma and two cases of plasmo-lymphocytic cystitis. Among epithelial abnormalities, COX-2 immunostaining was restricted to epithelial component of the lesions, and it was diffused cytoplasmic type with occasional perinuclear staining particularly in the cytoplasmic membrane. However, in haemangiosarcoma the COX-2 immunoreactivity was noticed in epithelial as well as connective tissue stroma. In conclusion, it may be stated that urinary bladders of slaughtered buffaloes showed a number of epithelial abnormalities, inflammatory conditions and occasionally neoplasms. Further studies to explore the infectious as well as non-infectious etiologies should be undertaken.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43910649","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}

Bhat, Gurucharan Singh Dhaliwal","doi":"10.56825/bufbu.2023.4222415","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56825/bufbu.2023.4222415","url":null,"abstract":"Synchronizing estrus and ovulation in buffalo using timed inseminations (TAI) protocols circumvents the limitations associated with estrus detection. Spontaneous estrus in buffalo may achieve more conception rate on insemination than those subjected to synchronization of estrus and timed insemination (TAI). The advantages of insemination following synchronization programs include higher detection rates combined with decreased embryonic losses and reduction in days open. A synchonization programme should ensure control of estrus cycle which entirely depends on ovarian status of animals before starting any protocol. Ovarian follicular status at the beginning of treatment protocols plays vital role for effective response shown by animals. Studies show that more precise alterations in follicular waves may be needed to achieve better synchrony of ovulation and more fertility. The protocols which use Gonadotropic Releasing Hormone (GnRH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), prostaglandins, progesterone and estradiol have been helpful in achieving the estrus and ovulation synchrony. Use of estradiol esters and progesterone per-vaginum implants have also been incorporated in synchronization programs. Synchronous emergence of follicular waves using trans-vaginal ultrasound guided follicular ablation and estradiol administration is a recent concept for synchronization in buffalo. Further, a recent approach has been to allow the follicle of second follicular wave to ovulate as the fertility has been lesser when first wave follicle ovulates. Moreover, controlling environmental influences, nutritional and managemental strategies remain pre-requisite to achieve desired goals though hormonal administration. This is more particular in buffaloes suffering from anestrum more so in low or non-breeding season and pre-pubetal anestrum. This review will cover the available documented literature regarding estrous cycle physiology with emphasis on follicular wave dynamics and the future area of work to be focused to achieve more reproductive efficiency in buffalo.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42770735","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}

In November 2019, 9 to 10 buffaloes calves up to 3 months of age showed symptoms of diarrhoea, loss of appetite, and poor weight gain at an organised dairy farm. Based on history, faecal samples were collected from 20 buffaloes calves and subjected to standard qualitative coprological examination and quantitative analysis using a modified McMaster technique. Out of 20 faecal samples, 90% were positive for coccidia oocysts. Among positive samples, 11% were heavily infected and 16% had a moderate level of infection of Eimeria spp. Six species of Eimeria were identified, E. bareillyi was the most often encountered species, accounting for 37.39%, followed by E. bovis (22.76%), E. zuernii (14.63%), E. ellipsoidalis (13.82%), E. canadensis (13.82%), and E. cylindrica (6.50%). Blood examination of mild and severely affected calves revealed a decrease in the mean values of hemoglobulin, total erythrocyte count, total leucocyte count, platelets and an increase in monocytes as compared with healthy calves. The affected calves were treated with combination of Sulphadiazine and Trimethoprim (Biotrim IV injection) along with supportive treatment for five successive days. All the affected animals responded well to the treatment and showed marked reduction in clinical symptoms as well as oocyst output.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48254426","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}
