The effect of dietary supplementation of crushed soybean and flaxseed on ovarian function in postpartum crossbred dairy cows was studied. Total 20 postpartum normally calved cows from 2 nd to 4 th lactation were randomly divided into two equal groups. In addition to routine feed, cows from group T1 were fed with dietary supplementation of crushed soybean @ 10% of DM requirement from the day of calving to day 50 postpartum and thereafter continuation with curshed Flaxseed @ 15% of DM requirement of animal from day 51 to day 85 postpartum respectively, whereas cows from Group T2 was considered as control and supplemented with routine feed. All the animals from both groups were synchronized on day 60 postpartum with Ovsynch protocol. The Follicular dynamic study with the help of USG was undertaken at every 24 hrs interval before the first injection of GnRH of Ovsynch protocol and during Ovsynch protocol (Day 0 to Day 9) of synchronization. It was observed that mean number of class II follicles and total number of follicles were significantly increased in T1 group as compared to T2 group, whereas the mean number of class I and class III follicles did not differ significantly in T1 and T2 groups on day 0. During the synchronization period the mean number of class I, class II, total numbers of follicles and preovulatory follicles size were significantly larger in T1 as compared to T2 groups. The present research findings concluded that the dietary supplementation of crushed soybean and flaxseed showed significant increase in class I, class II, total number of follicles and size of preovulatory follicle in crossbred cows as compare to control group.
Antidiarrhoeal activity of Leaves of Dalbergia sissoo (D. sissoo) was evaluated in mice using castor
oil induced diarrhoea and gastrointestinal motility test with charcoal meal method and further in
clinical cases of goats. The results showed that the D. sissoo leaves extract (400 mg/kg and 800
mg/kg) produced significant (p is less than 0.01) reduction in frequency of defecation up to 75.12% compared
to control mice in castor oil induced diarrhoea. The inhibition of charcoal meal transit by D. sissoo
at dose of 400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg treated groups was found to be 42.95 and 53.20 per cent,
respectively as compared to controls. In clinical cases of diarrhoea in goats D. sissoo decoction
treated group showed complete recovery and normalization of the faeces on 4th day of treatment.
The study revealed that D. sissoo possesses potent antidiarrhoeal activity
An experiment on ultrasonographic studies of follicular activities in clomiphene citrate treated
anoestrus cows was conducted. Ultrasound scanning was performed to record the follicular activities
on alternate day throughout one estrous cycle for control group and from drug administration to
induction of estrus in treatment group. The postpartum induced estrus (treatment group) and regular
estrus (control group) differed highly significantly (p is less than 0.01) with respect to number of follicles involved
in ovulatory wave (6.67 ± 0.21 Vs 5.00 ± 0.45) and significantly (pis less than 0.05) with respect to growth
rate (1.82 ± 0.34 Vs 1.04 ± 0.94 mm/day) and increase in diameter of dominant follicle (7.58 ±
0.72 Vs 10.2 ± 0.47 mm). Maximum diameter of ovulatory follicle in induced estrus was greater
than regular estrus (16.12 ± 0.56 Vs15.18 ± 0.47 mm), however, it differed non-significantly
