Abstract:
Present exploration was planned to know the urine metabolites in relation to various ambiences and physiological states of Tharparkar cows from Bikaner district of Rajasthan. Apparently healthy 180 Tharparkar cows were screened from private dairies located in and around Bikaner district, Rajasthan. The urine samples were collected under standard management conditions during moderate ambience (October-November), dry-hot ambience (May and June) and humid-hot ambience (July-August). Maximum level of urine urea and urine creatinine were observed during humid-hot ambience. During humid-hot, the per-cent variation in the value of urine urea and urine creatinine were found to be maximum (+148.91) and (+16.81), respectively. Urine urea gauging is a chief aspect to evaluate renal function. Hydration states can affect urea excretion in ruminants. Urine creatinine level examination also reveals the depiction of renal clearance. Higher environmental temperature probably helps in generating slow dehydration resulting in greater urine creatinine revealing renal lilts.
