A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out to investigate the productive and reproductive performances of different genetic groups of crossbred cows at three different farming conditions in Bangladesh. Crossbred cows (n=90) those already completed third lactations, were selected randomly from three different dairy farms (e.g. Jarip, Mullah and Nahar) located in Chittagong, Bangladesh. ...

The present study was designed to determine the quarter-wise comparative prevalence of mastitis in buffaloes and crossbred cows. Milk samples collected from 50 dairy buffaloes and 50 crossbred cows were tested for subclinical mastitis by Surf Field Mastitis Test. In addition, all milk samples were processed for isolation and identification of pathogens. In buffaloes, overall prevalence of subcl...

AIM The aim was to determine hemato-biochemical changes and rapid diagnosis of Theileria annulata in naturally infected crossbred cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples from lactating crossbred cows (n=40) between 3 and 7 years of age and showing clinical signs of tropical theileriosis were collected, with or without anticoagulant, and analyzed for tropical theileriosis by direct smear, di...

The study was conducted to know the effect of flushed feeding on estrus synchronization and conception rate of Holstein ÍLocal crossbred cow’s after using the GnRH (fertagyl) and PGF2α hormone. As a representative sample 20 Holstein ÍLocal crossbred cows were chosen from Chittagong Cantonment Military Dairy Farm in Bangladesh and the experimental work was carried out for 60 days. Ten cows were ...

the present study was conducted to see the effect of non-specific genital infections and ovulatory disturbances on clinical signs of oestrusnamely oestrus duration, tonicity of uterus, relaxation of cervix and persistence of follicle. the mean values of oestrus duration, tonicity of uterus and relaxation of cervix varied significantly (p

The present research was designed to evaluate the effects of pre and post-partum energy level and feeding pattern on the performance of crossbred dairy cows and their calves under farm conditions. A total of 16 crossbred dairy cows were divided into two equal groups on the basis of their body weight and milk production. One group was given 30% less and the another was given 30% more energy than...

AIM The present study was carried out to compare the associated role of micro minerals and hormones in repeat breeding animals with the normal crossbred cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from 10 normal cycling and 10 repeat breeding crossbred cows of Ramakrishna Mission Ashram, Narendrapur to study the plasma mineral profile and hormonal activities. RESULTS Zn was fou...

An all-breed animal model was developed for routine genetic evaluations of US dairy cattle. Data sets from individual breeds were combined, and records from crossbred cows were included. About 1% of recent cows were first-generation crossbreds. The numbers of cows with records since 1960 ranged from 10 to 22 million for the 6 traits analyzed, which were milk, fat, protein, somatic cell score, p...

four crossbred cows with mummified fetus were utilized for the study. the cows were subjected to gynecological examination and based on the findings the cases were diagnosed as mummified fetus. the cows were treated with 2 mg estradiol valerate and 500 µg cloprostenol and were examined every 12 hr after 24 hr of the treatment for cervical dilatation and other signs related to fetal expulsion. t...

the study was conducted to know the effect of flushed feeding on estrus synchronization and conception rate of holstein ílocal crossbred cow’s after using the gnrh (fertagyl) and pgf2α hormone. as a representative sample 20 holstein ílocal crossbred cows were chosen from chittagong cantonment military dairy farm in bangladesh and the experimental work was carried out for 60 days. ten cows were ...
