Trials for treatment of ovarian inactivity in cows and buffaloes

A total numbers of 130 pluriparous non-pregnant cows [61] and buffalo- cows [69] suffering from ovarian inactivity were divided into four groups. The incidence of heat was 23.07, 81.25, 93.75 and 87.50% in cows, while in buffalos, it was 33.33, 88.88, 94.44 and 88.88% for the four groups, respectively. The number of services per conception was 2.0, 1.44, 1.70 and 1.25 in cows, while in buffalos, it was 2.0, 1.45, 1.72 and 1.28 for the four groups, respectively. The pregnancy rate was 33.33, 69.23, 66.66 and 85.71 in cows, while in buffalos, it was 40.0, 69.23, 64.70 and 87.5 for the four groups, respectively. It was concluded that the administration of mineral vitamin mixture followed by FSH injection gave the best results for treating ovarian inactivity either in cows or buffalo-cows

Blood aspects in experimentally induced hyper and hypoprolactinaemia

Four groups of apparently healthy male guinea pigs were used. In addition to the first group [control], the other three were treated with estrogen, bromocriptine and estrogen plus bromocriptine, respectively. Results revealed that estrogen alone exerted excessive prolactin and estradiol-17B secretions accompanied with significant rise of serum levels of insulin and total calcium, while serum levels of glucose, magnesium and inorganic phosphorus were decreased significantly. Bromocriptine alone exerted marked decrease in serum prolactin and estradiol-17B, but other serum constituents estimated remained almost within their control levels. Bromocriptine following estrogen retained all the serum constituents to about the control levels as compared to the findings in animals given estrogen alone. Such biochemical alteration noticed in this study may be promising as An aid in clinical diagnosis and possible treatment of inappropriate cases of prolactin as well as estradiol-17B secretions
