Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol during the oestrous cycle in swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol were measured in 5 cyclic swamp buffaloes. Progesterone levels began to increase after Day 5 (Day 0 = the day of oestrus) and reached a plateau after Day 10. A rapid decrease in progesterone levels occurred during the 5 days before oestrus, followed by a sustained increase in oestradiol concentrations. Basal LH levels decreased towards the mid-luteal phase and then progressively increased during the follicular phase.

Relationship between Peripheral Plasma Inhibin and Progesterone Concentrations in Sahiwal Cattle (Bos Indicus) and Murrah Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
The present study investigated peripheral plasma immunoreactive inhibin (ir-inhibin) concentrations in relation to the stage of oestrous cycle and progesterone concentrations in cycling Sahiwal cattle (Bos indicus) and Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). Blood samples were collected once daily for thirty-two consecutive days from cattle and buffaloes (5 each) during winter months of January and...

Hormone patterns in blood plasma were examined in relation to the bovine oestrous cycle in two experiments. During the luteal phase LH pulse frequency was low (2-3 pulses per 8 h). There were no consistent correlations between LH, FSH and progesterone concentrations. During luteolysis, falling progesterone concentrations were accompanied by an increase in oestradiol-17 beta concentrations, LH c...
متن کاملPostpartum endocrinology and prospects for fertility improvement in the lactating riverine buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and yak (Poephagus grunniens L.)
In many Asian countries the riverine buffalo is the major milk producing animal besides contributing towards draught power and meat production. The animal however suffers from inherent reproductive problems such as poor estrus expression and long calving intervals which limits its lifetime production. The yak is a seasonal breeder and the mainstay of highlanders and tribal populations inhabitin...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Heatynch protocol on plasma estrogen concentration in Murrah buffaloes and to evaluate if the Heatsynch protocol induces estrus in Murrah buffaloes. All treated animals responded to the treatment by displaying obvious signs of estrus. The mean plasma estrogen concentration among the individual buffalo was 191.9 ± 68.3 pg / ml after E...
متن کاملHormone concentrations in the caudal vena cava during the first ovarian follicular wave of the oestrous cycle in heifers.
Changes in pulsatile secretion of LH, FSH, oestradiol and progesterone were related to the growth phase, early plateau phase and regression phase of the first ovarian dominant follicle of the oestrous cycle in Bos indicus heifers. Relationships between these hormones during the three phases were also investigated. Accurate measurements of episodic ovarian steroid secretion were obtained by cath...
