Periparturient dairy cows undergo major physiological and metabolic changes as well immunosuppression, associated with decrease in plasma concentrations of various minerals vitamins. The present study was conducted to investigate effects repeated injections vitamins on oxidative stress, innate adaptive immune response periparturient their offspring. Experiment carried out 24 peripartum Karan-Fries cows, randomly divided into four groups (n=6): control, Multi-mineral (MM), Multi-vitamin (MV)...
Heat stress negatively affects health, welfare, and livestock productivity by impairing immune function, increasing disease incidence. In recent years, there has been interest in understanding the system of water buffalo due to growing economic impact this species for high quality nutritional value milk. While are common responses across bovine species, also some species-specific variations physiological heat stress, mainly attributed differences metabolism dissipation efficiency. At...
Aim: The present study was aimed to the use of cell counts as an early indicator mammary health. Materials and Methods:Milk blood were estimated from 8 healthy, subclinical (SCM), clinically mastitis (CM) groups Karan Fries (KF) cows.Results: Total leucocyte neutrophil percent in milk somatic cells healthy cows increased significantly (p<0.05) SCM CM cows.Viability neutrophils more cows, but decreased cows.Significant (p<0.05)decrease also observed both lymphocytes monocytes cows.Phagocytic...
The goal of this work was to understand how polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), the first line cellular defence, integrate and prioritize multiple chemotactic signals navigate during periods demand like subclinical mastitis (SCM), clinical (CM), pregnancy (P), calving (C). For this, blood milk samples were collected from five groups crossbred cows (healthy, with SCM, CM, pregnant, newly calved). Maximum viability seen in PMN healthy cows, whereas minimum observed CM cows. Phagocytic activity...
Harsh environmental conditions adversely affect the health and productivity of buffaloes. The present study was conducted to investigate effect seasonal thermal stress on physiological responses, oxidative some related hormones in Murrah A significant (p < 0.05) rise observed rectal temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate superoxide dismutase (SOD) during hot-humid (HH) hot-dry (HD) seasons compared thermoneutral (TN) season. Plasma cortisol malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were low TN season,...
Milk somatic cell counts (SCCs) have been used as a gold standard to monitor mammary health well an indicator of raw milk quality. The present work was undertaken compare the changes in SCC, differential leukocyte (DLCs), phagocytic activity (PA) neutrophils and macrophages (by nitroblue tetrazolium assay), extracellular trap formation (PicoGreen assay) mRNA expression various genes (reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction), plasma cortisol concentration (enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
Milk cell counts are good indicators of a mammary infection and milk quality. The present study was done to record diurnal rhythmicity in the somatic differential during different seasons, strips parity Murrah buffaloes. (SCC) were measured by SCC counter microscopically after making smear staining it identify neutrophils, lymphocytes macrophages. Maximum observed summer season. neutrophils lowest thermoneutral (TN), intermediate winter season highest season, TN Diurnal rhythm neutrophil...
Chances of mammary infections are comparatively higher in high producing cows during harsh environmental conditions and usually characterised by changes occurring various somatic cells secreted the milk their activities. The present study was conducted to record diurnal rhythmicity cell counts (SCC), neutrophil: macrophage (N: M) ratio, phagocytic activity (PA) neutrophils plasma cortisol concentrations different seasons parity Karan Fries cows. Values SCC, N: M ratio levels were lowest...
Abstract Detection of subclinical mastitis (SCM) in its initial stage can save great economic losses, improve milk quality and animal welfare. We have developed a semiquantitative lateral flow assay for the detection SCM dairy cows targeting myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme neutrophils. A competitive immunoassay format was used, colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNP) were prepared used as labelling agent. Monoclonal anti-MPO antibodies assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent dot blot. Conjugation...
