“…Muscular activity activates the sympathetic-adrenal medullary axis, which induces the release of epinephrine, leading to the activation of a and b receptors that cause diverse physiological adjustments in response to stressors [ 45 , 46 ]. The increases in RR, pulse, HR, and RT observed in the present study are consistent with similar responses in Surti buffaloes [ 47 ], bullocks of Hariana cattle [ 24 ], and equids [ 20 , 48 ]. The increase in HR during exercise occurs in response to increased metabolic rates due to adrenaline and glycolysis; and also due to an increase in cardiac contraction to maintain an adequate blood flow for perfusion and tissue oxygenation, which is related to the increase in RR and pulse [ 43 , 49 ].…”

“…The increase in HR during exercise occurs in response to increased metabolic rates due to adrenaline and glycolysis; and also due to an increase in cardiac contraction to maintain an adequate blood flow for perfusion and tissue oxygenation, which is related to the increase in RR and pulse [ 43 , 49 ]. The change in body temperature is due to heat production resulting from muscle contraction during work [ 24 ]. The increases in values of physiological parameters are similar to those observed in working buffaloes after ploughing muddy fields for 1–5 h [ 44 ].…”

“…Such evaluations are also performed in response to various conditions, such as physical exercise [18][19][20]. Changes in physiological parameters and the different components of plasma biochemistry of animals reflect the stress of work imposed on working animals; these have been used to evaluate bullocks [21][22][23][24], donkeys [25,26], horses [20,27], mules [28,29], dromedary camels [30,31], and dogs [32,33].…”

Background and Aim: Working animals are important in agriculture because they play a role in various agricultural activities, including milk and meat production. Thus, they contribute to the development of rural communities. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different load weights on the work performance and the physiological and hematological responses of working water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Materials and Methods: The work performances of 12 buffaloes (average weight 782.16 ± 21.62 kg) transporting 200, 350, and 500 kg of African palm fruits in metal baskets placed on their backs were evaluated. Work performance variables evaluated immediately after work were as follows: total number of trips (n), total weight (kg), distance traveled (km/day), working period (h), stopped time (h), and average speed (km/h). In addition, we evaluated physiological, biochemical, and hematological variables at three different times: before the start of work, immediately after work, and on the rest day. Results: Among the load weights, 500 kg (total load carried = 4,138.88 kg) improved work efficiency compared to 200 kg loads (total load = 3,322.22 kg) (p = 0.0281). However, 500 kg loads resulted in slower average speed (2.4 km, p = 0.0164), shorter working period (2.39 h, p < 0.0001) and distance traveled (7.29 km, p < 0.0001), and less total number of trips (8.27 trips, p < 0.0001) compared to 350 and 200 kg load weights (3.45 and 3.52 km/h, 2.55 and 2.79 h, 8.71 and 9.75 km, 10.94 and 16.61 trips, respectively); and the heaviest loads resulted in significantly higher (p < 0.005) respiratory rate, pulse, heart rate, rectal temperature, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, total protein, white blood cell count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. In contrast, was associated with lower levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit compared to lower loads. All differences were more pronounced in 500 kg (p < 0.005) compared to 200 kg loads. Conclusion: Working buffaloes responded to work related to the transport of African palm fruits through various physiological, biochemical, and hematological changes. However, some variables remained close to the reference values reported in the literature for water buffaloes, and in general, all variables were reestablished during the rest day, indicating that these animals have adapted to working conditions. Keywords: biochemical responses, draught buffalo, hematological responses, physiological responses.

“…Upadhaya and Madan (1986) also observed higher increase of PR after 3hours of work in summer and rainy season than in winter. Maurya and Devadattam (1982) and Yadav et al (2001) observed higher rate of increase of PR and RR in summer and reported significant interaction between working period and season. Belsare and Pande (1992) had also found that RR was significantly correlated with environmental temperature.…”

“…Rautaray and Srivastava (1982) studied the physiological responses of Haryana and cross breed bullocks subjected to ploughing and observed that the physiological responses increased with duration and were dependent on ambient conditions. Singh (2000), Yadav et al (2001) and Singh and Srivastava (2006) reported that the physiological responses of Malvi bullocks increased with duration and draft and seasonal changes also had significant effects on these parameters. Studies (Behera et al 2008) on physiological responses of medium sized non-descript bullocks of Odisha revealed that the physiological parameters increased significantly with draft and duration of work.…”

The present study was carried out to find out the effects of draft and seasons on the physiological responses of small sized Mottu (non-descript breed of bullocks of tribal districts of Odisha) bullocks (Pair weight-450 kg) in test track with the help of CIAE animal loading car at Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during summer, rainy and winter season in the year 2009. The study showed that rise of pulse rate was sharp from the initial values during 1 st hour of work at all drafts and seasons except in case of 9 and 10 % drafts in winter season. But sharp rise of respiration rate was observed in summer season only. Thereafter, rise of pulse rate and respiration rate were gradual. Comparison of pulse rate, respiration rate and body temperature within seasons at a particular draft and duration revealed that season had significant effect on these parameters.
