Abstract:
This study was conducted with an aim to compare the haematological and biochemical profile in normal and repeat breeding buffaloes under field condition during 0 (day of oestrus), 11^th day (mid luteal phase) and 16^th day (Early follicular phase) of the oestrus cycle. A total of sixteen buffaloes were selected from the cases presented for A.I. to various Veterinary Dispensaries in and around Bidar. Buffaloes were grouped based on clinical examination and uterine infection was ruled out by white side test. Blood sampling was carried out on corresponding days for analysis. Result of present study elucidated that mean levels of TEC, Hb and PCV were significantly (p≤0.05) lower in repeat breeders whereas, no difference was found with TLC and DLC levels. Repeat breeders had significantly (p≤0.05) lower cholesterol than normal breeders however, no significant difference was observed between two groups in glucose, alkaline phosphatase, triglycerides, total protein and albumin levels. No significant difference was observed among the aforementioned phases for these haemato-biochemical parameters in both groups.
