Successful management of fetal mummification in non-descript buffalo heifer by medical termination and episiotomy operation
Get PDFA 9-month pregnant non-descript buffalo heifer was presented with the history of vaginal discharge. The case was diagnosed as fetal mummification during clinical and ultrasound examination. The parturition was induced with PGF2α. The animal was not responded to and hence the second dose of PGF2α was given 72 h later. The cervix was fully dilated forty-eight hours after second PGF2α injection but due to vulval constriction it was unable to deliver the fetus. Hence an episiotomy was performed and the mummified fetus was delivered

The case was diagnosed as presence of fetal monster with multiple malformations. The monster was removed successfully by caesarian operation
Therapeutic management of clinical mastitis in a buffalo with herbal paste adjuvant: A case report
Get PDFAn old buffalo was referred to the Department of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani. The anamnesis of animal was swelling of udder since five days with abnormal milk, inappetence and earlier treated at local veterinary polyclinic with various treatments but still no improvement observed. On clinical examination, animal was having good body condition, dull and slightly depressed behavior, no abnormality in posture and gait, moist muzzle, slightly congested conjunctival mucous membrane, 103.4 °F temperature, respiration rate - 30 breath per minutes, pulse rate - 68 beats per minutes, one ruminal motility per three minutes. The udder was having marked painful swelling and flaked milk was coming out from the three quarters and blood-tinged milk coming out from left hind quarter. Milk was collected from all four quarters and applied diagnostic test MCMT, SCC, EC and pH and found positive for clinical mastitis. The buffalo was treated with inj. Marbofloxacin 10 mg/kg BW I/M as a single-dose along with a topical herbal paste adjuvant containing Aloe vera, turmeric and lime in proper proportion was applied topically on whole udder and all teats. The paste was applied four times a day and repeated for 6 days with fresh preparation. The buffalo responded positively to the herbal paste with early recovery. There were marked improvements in udder health with reduction in swelling with no pain on palpation of udder and change in color and consistency of milk towards normal from third day onwards. In conclusion, a single dose injection of marbofloxacin along with herbal paste adjuvant is safe and efficacious for the treatment and early recovery of mastitis in buffalo
Diagnostic utility of echocardiography and ultrasonography in buffaloes suffering from pericarditis
Get PDFPericarditis remains a serious problem faced by bovine producers in the developing countries. This study was designed to evaluate the echocardiographic and ultrasonographic changes in dairy buffaloes affected with pericarditis presented to Large Animal Clinic, Teaching Veterinary Hospital of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana, India. 49 buffaloes were included and selected on the basis one or more of the clinical signs viz., brisket edema, dyspnoea, muffled heart sounds and distended jugular veins. Animals were subjected to clinical examination, thoracic and abdominal ultrasonography and M- mode echocardiography. The CVS examination revealed normal intensity of heart sounds in 17 and muffled in 32 cases with splashing/pericardial rub in 9 cases. Ultrasonography revealed spleenic congestion, liver was congested in majority of the cases with visible dilatation of the caudal vena cava. Heart was normal in 7 and visibly compressed in 42 cases due to the pericardial fluid. Massive pleural fluid was seen in 28 cases. Buffaloes in our study had pericardial effusions (n=49), pleural and pericardial effusions (n=45) and pleural, pericardial and peritoneal effusions (n=19). The predominant echocardiographic findings were significantly decreased dimensions of the heart chambers in both systole and diastole. The left ventricular contractility indices (FS% and EF%) were significantly high. The clinical findings alone do not allow a definitive diagnosis of pericarditis as characteristic signs were not present in all the cases. The combined use of ultrasonography and echocardiography provides a comprehensive idea about such cases and aids in early diagnosis of pericarditis
Seroprevalence and associated risk factors of brucellosis in buffaloes in district Layyah
Get PDFBrucellosis causes huge economic losses in the dairy industry and highly contagious and zoonotic disease lead to infertility, decreased overall milk production, and abortion in dairy animals. The aim of this study was to find the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of brucellosis in different breads of buffalo in District Layyah. For this purpose, Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and Milk Ring Test (MRT) were performed using the standard procedure. The results showed that the higher prevalence of brucellosis was found (6.6%) in tehsil Layyah compares to the other tehsils. The overall prevalence in the District Layyah was found 4.7% and Nilliravi bread was found more susceptible than the Kundi breed. The animals older than 5 years were found to be more susceptible as compared with younger animal. The prevalence of brucellosis was more in female buffaloes.as compared with the male. There was more abortion and reduction in milk in seropositive animals. It was concluded that higher prevalence of brucellosis in buffaloes and higher authorities should take measures to eliminate the seropositive animals to prevent the spread in people who are directly engaged with these animals’ veterinary staff and farmers
Prevalence of skin and subcutaneous neoplasm in bovines at various districts of Chhattisgarh, India
Get PDFThe present study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of skin and subcutaneous tumours in bovines. Thirty cases of skin and subcutaneous tumours were studied and examined at the time of presentation and their age, sex, breed, species, clinical observation for the body condition, location, colour of tumour mass, consistency, weight, shape, peduncultion, presence of bleeding were recorded. Most of the animals were middle aged, ranging from 4 to 8 years. Breed wise prevalence was more in crossbred cattle than other breeds. Sex wise higher incidence in male than females. The eye, neck, and limb region (13.34%) were most common tumours. The red and black colour of masses accounted for 10 (33.33%) and weight ranges from 80 to 120 gms affected with skin and subcutaneous tumours were twelve (40%) whereas bleeding and infection found in eleven (36.66%) and eight (26.66%) respectively. On clinical examination, animals with healthy condition (73.34%), tumours with non-pedunculated (broad based) (73.34%). The hard consistency (46.66%) cases along with round shape of tumour mass were found in thirteen (43.34%) cases which contributed maximum number of skin and subcutaneous tumours
Atypical cyclopia with ankylosed monster calf and its management through fetotomy- A case report
Get PDFA case of dystocia associated with malpresentation and atypical cyclopic monster with ankylosed limbs was delivered Per-vaginal with the help of fetotomy in a Murrah (Bubalus bubalis) buffalo
Myostatin gene polymorphisms do not determine muscle hypertrophy in buffaloes: A case report
Get PDFThe aim of the study was to detect variations in the exonic and intronic regions of the myostatin gene in buffaloes with different body conformations. The regions of the gene were analyzed using the PCR-sequencing technique comparing an animal with muscle hypertrophy and ten animals with normal musculature. The hypertrophied buffalo sequence was compared to the others and no exclusive genotype was identified. It suggests that the found MSTN variants are not singly associated to muscle hypertrophy in buffaloes
An Investigation of the Asymmetric Impacts of the Thai Monetary Policy on the Real Estate Market
Get PDFThis paper's objective is to investigate how monetary policy changes impact the housing loans and residential housing markets. To estimate the impulse response functions, the quarterly seasonally-adjusted times-series data during Q1/2000-Q2/2023 are utilized in both VAR and MS-VAR frameworks to explore whether the Thai housing loans and real estate markets have a unique reaction to the changes in monetary policy instruments or not. The two housing market variables, namely housing loans and house prices, the interest rate charged on housing loan contracts, as well as the Bank of Thailand’s policy rate, are included in the model as endogenous variables, while other three variables, namely the economic growth rate, headline inflation rate, and money supply growth rate, are also incorporated into the model as exogeneous variables. The empirical results from the MS-VAR model help clarify that there exist two different and independent states for the Thai housing market, resulting in asymmetric effects of monetary policy that are transmitted to the housing market. In addition, the monetary policy shock becomes significant and noticeable during the low-volatility period. Due to the existence of the nonlinear relationship among housing variables and the monetary policy instrument, the monetary authority should be cognizant of the negative impact of tightening monetary policy on the housing market. Furthermore, the traditional monetary policy instrument, the policy interest rate, may not be the most effective instruments for containing the overheated scenario in the housing and real estate markets
Creating a Basic Financial Plan for a Newly Graduated Naval Officers
Get PDFThe objective of this academic article is to provide a basic financial planning guide for newly graduated naval officers from the Naval Academy in Thailand. It aims to equip these naval officers with knowledge and understanding of the meaning and significance of financial planning, allowing them to adapt and apply this knowledge according to their specific needs and circumstances. Naval officers who graduate from naval school will receive a starting monthly salary of no less than 15,000 baht. As they receive higher salaries and gain more independence in decision-making compared to their time as naval cadets, it is highly essential for these naval officers to have financial knowledge related to financial planning and apply it for their benefit. Establishing financial planning guidelines should start with having basic financial knowledge and understanding the benefits of financial planning, clarifying why we are doing it. In the fundamental principles of financial planning, it is essential to create a personal budget and cash flow statement to assess your overall financial well-being. Starting with setting financial goals using the SMART framework (S = Specific, M = Measurable, A = Achievable, R = Realistic, T = Time-bound) is an effective way to establish financial objectives. Afterward, we can create a basic financial plan to evaluate our net worth and develop a simple cash flow statement to understand our income and expenses. Also, by understanding the use of Government pension fund and defined benefit plan from the government as one of the investment vehicles, we can predict a rough outcome as a result. A good financial plan enables us to achieve our life goals. Each individual's financial plan may vary based on their circumstances and personal situations, but the underlying principles of financial planning remain consistent or similar in their application
