Abstract

The present research work was designed to establish baseline data of the pelvimetric profile in Deoni Cattle. Deoni cattle (270) of three strains, i.e. Wannera, Balankya and Shevera were selected and divided into six age groups: Group I (12 to 24 months), II (25 to 36 months), III (37 to 48 months), IV (49 to 60 months), V (61 to 72 months) and VI (73 to 84 months) with 45 animals in each group. Body weight along with different pelvimetric parameters such as distance between two angles of haunch (A), distance between two ischial tuberosities (B), distance between level of croup and hip joint (C) and distance between tuber coxae and tuber ischia (D) were measured to determine the transverse and vertical diameter of pelvic inlet and outlet which were used to calculate pelvic area of inlet and outlet. The pelvic area values for both inlet and outlet showed highly significant differences within groups, but no significant difference was observed between the three strains of each group. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the pelvic area of Deoni cattle increases with the age and it has significant positive correlation with the parity and body weight. Thus, pelvimetric profile can be used as a marker for selection of young Deoni heifers and cows for breeding purposes to lower dystocia incidences.
