ABSTRACT
The present case study discuss about the therapeutic management of prolonged postpartum anoestrus in a crossbred Jersey cattle without any hormonal intervention. A three and half years old cattle having approximate 250 kg body weight was presented to an animal health camp held on Burdhaman district in West Bengal state (India) with a history of postpartum anoestrus. According to the cattle owner the animal hasn’t shown any symptoms of estrus cycle even after five months of first calving. On per-rectal examination the animal failed to reveal distinctly palpable corpus luteum in the ovaries with apparently normal uterus. In this case, at first the cattle was dewormed then managed with supportive therapy by giving vitamins and minerals supplements. For better result ovarian massage was given also. The owner informed that animal came to heat after one month of treatment and now the animal is three months pregnant after conceiving through artificial insemination
ABSTRACT
About 100 milch animals hair sample were collected from 5 villages namely Dakhin Panchpota, Noonaghata, Mitrapur, Goetra, Ranaghat of Nadia district, West Bengal, India and these samples were processed to estimate the concentration of arsenic. Out of them 30 cattle having arsenic concentration in the range of 2.5 to 4.5 mg/kg in hair was chosen for this experiment. These milch were divided into three groups’ i.e. Group I (G1) animals received turmeric powder, whereas Group II (G2) received Turmeric (Curcuma longa) + Amaranthus spinosus (Meghnads) and Group III (G3) served as untreated control. Arsenic content of milk, feces, hair & urine was estimated before and after administration of turmeric powder (Curcuma longa) at the dose of 30 grams to each animal of Group I (G1)/ day for 3 months (90 Days) and turmeric powder 15g (Curcuma longa) + Amaranthus spinosus (Meghnads) 15g / day to each animals Group II (G3). Turmeric & Amaranthus spinosus significantly decreased arsenic load in milk, urine, hair & feces after 3 month. In Milk, arsenic concentration was decreased significantly which may be beneficial for animals and human consumption.
