Blood profiles of mithun (Bos frontalis) under different stages of reproduction

Abstract

The study was carried out in the herd of mithun maintained at Jharnapani farm, NRC on Mithun, Nagaland. In total 64 (n=64) mithun of which, are divided in to four groups such as heifer (4), oestrus cows (4), pregnant cows (4) and non pregnant cows (4) for four strains namely Arunachalee (16), Mizoram ( 16), Nagaland ( 16) and Manipur ( 16) based on per rectal examination and farm records and were clinically normal. The blood samples were examined for the biochemical and heamatological profiles. Significant (p<0.05) difference was observed in ESR (mm/Hr) in pregnant and non pregnant stage between the different strains of mithun and also significant (p<0.05) difference was observed between the different stages of reproduction in Mizoram and Manipur strains. Results of bio-chemical parameters revealed that glucose concentration was showed a significant (p<0.05) different between the different strains in non pregnant stage of mithun. Other biochemical and haematological parameters were not significant different between the strains and between the different stages of reproduction.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in Mithun (Bos frontalis): What progress has been made so far? An overview

“…Unilateral cryptorchidism (Perumal, 2013;Perumal, Chang, Sangma, Khate, & Saminathan, 2016) and scrotal insulation (Perumal, 2018f) have a significant adverse effect on scrotal and testicular biometrics, hormones and semen production and its quality profiles in Mithun; therefore, cryptorchid male and semen collection throughout summer season need to be avoided. Vices such as spontaneous erection and masturbation have non-significant adverse effects on semen production and its quality profiles in Mithun (Perumal, Vupru, Khate, Veeraselvam, et al, 2013). a. Diluent supplemented with 5, 10 and 20 mg/ml BSA and maintained at refrigeration temperature a. BSA at 5 mg/ml significantly improved the quality of semen Perumal, Nahak, et al (2015) Pomegranate juice a. Diluent supplemented with 6%, 8% and 10% (V/V) pomegranate juice and maintained at refrigeration temperature a.…”

Beneficial activities of ethnobotanical plants on selected systems and agriculture

“…They are also involved in the secundiflora, the bark of Acacia oerfota, Acacia drepanolobium, and Azadirachta indica seeds are useful in treating venereal diseases. Epimedium sagittatum, also known as horny goat weed, is a popular aphrodisiac and boosts sperm cell production (Perumal et al 2013) [129] . Studies on Murraya koenigii and Aegle marmelos separately and together have shown their potency in establishing estrus, ovulation, and pregnancy in anestrus goats, cows, and buffaloes.…”
