Serum metabolites and macro mineral profile of prepartum buffaloes affected with cervico-vaginal prolapse
Keywords:
Buffaloes, Cervico-vaginal prolapse, Metabolic panel, Serum macro-mineralsAbstract
Blood samples were collected from 36 pregnant buffaloes in third trimester of pregnancy. Out of total, 24 were suffering with pre partum vaginal prolapse (affected group) while the remaining 12 were normal pregnant buffaloes (control group). Serum was separated from blood and serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other metabolic panels like protein, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and urea were estimated to study their relationship during cervico-vaginal prolapse. Mean serum calcium (mg/dl) concentration in affected group was significantly lower as compared to control buffaloes. Serum phosphorus and magnesium levels did not differ significantly between 2 groups. Serum glucose level (mg/dl) was significantly higher in affected group as compared to the control animals. Total protein (mg/dl) was significantly lower in prolapsed buffaloes as compared to healthy buffaloes. No significant difference of serum urea and cholesterol was found between affected and control groups while serum triglycerides (mg/dl) was significantly higher in prolapsed buffaloes (45.25) as compared to control group.
