Abstract

Every year, thousands of cows and calves die during parturition for poor parturition managements, and insufficient veterinary services. A total of 83 cases of dystocia were the subject of a retrospective investigation between January 2021 and December 2023 to determine the incidence of dystocia in dairy cows in Manoharganj upazila of Cumilla district, Bangladesh. The study revealed that local breed cows had a higher prevalence of dystocia (53.01%) than cross-breed cows (46.99%). Also, younger cows had a higher incidence of dystocia (71.08%) than older cows. Primiparous heifers showed a higher incidence of dystocia (69.88%) than pluriparous cows (30.12%). In addition, compared with naturally inseminated cows (9.64%), artificially inseminated dairy cows had a higher dystocia rate (90.36%). The occurrence of dystocia was found to occur more frequently in fetal causes (65.06%) than in maternal causes (34.94%). Among maternal causes, incomplete cervix dilation was the most common (18.07%), while fetal head deviation was the most frequent fetal cause (27.71%). Fetal oversize, carpal flexion, shoulder flexion, fetal dropsy, twin calves, uterine torsion, and uterine inertia were other low-incidence causes of dystocia. The most common method of managing dystocia was manual correction (91.57%), followed by fetotomy (4.82%), and C-section (3.61%). After dystocia treatment, 96.25% of dams survived, and 3.75% of cases resulted in dam deaths; fetal death occurred in 32.5% of cases, while the fetal survival rate was 67.5%. Therefore, this study suggest that when using artificial insemination, it is best to consider the breed of the dam and sire.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate and characterize the gross, histologic and ultrasonographic features of uterine caruncles in Bengal goats, an indigenous breed in Bangladesh.  A total of 40 uteri were collected from sexually mature, pregnant and non-pregnant does obtained from local slaughter houses, preserved and processed in for gross morphological and histological characterization of uterine caruncles. Additionally, transabdominal ultrasonographic characterization of uterine caruncles were performed on randomly selected does at a commercial goat farm. Gross examination revealed multiple dome-shaped caruncles distributed along the endometrial surface, primarily arranged in four longitudinal rows. In both cyclic and non-cyclic goats, the average number of uterine caruncles was higher in the left uterine horn (55.85) compared to the right (54.42), with a consistent average of 4.30 rows observed in both horns. Histological examination of the caruncles revealed dense connective tissue, numerous blood vessels, and abundant uterine glands. The surface epithelium ranged from simple cuboidal to columnar. Morphometric analysis showed that the large caruncles were located in the mid-uterine horns.  Transabdominal ultrasonography identified pregnancy in 7 of 20 does (35%) and visualized uterine cotyledons between days 32 and 40 of gestation. Measurement of cotyledons via ultrasound may serve as a reliable indicator of gestational age. These findings provide baseline data that may support reproductive research, enhance breeding management, and contribute to the assessment of reproductive performance and productivity of goats in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Repeat breeding syndrome (RBS) has adverse effects on dairy profitability in Bangladesh. This study compared serum biochemical profiles between RBS-affected and normal cyclic Holstein Friesian crossbred cows to identify potential metabolic biomarkers. A total of thirty-two lactating cows (3-8 years old, body condition score 2.5-4.0/5) were categorized into repeat breeders (RB, n= 16; ≥3 failed artificial inseminations with normal estrus) and normal cyclic controls (NC, n= 16; matched for age, parity, and postpartum status). Serum samples were analyzed for minerals (Ca, P, Mg), proteins (total protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], C-reactive protein [CRP]), and metabolites (glucose, cholesterol, bilirubin) using commercial diagnostic kits (Span Diagnostics). Repeat breeder cows required significantly more services per conception (4.2 ± 2.1 vs. 0.6 ± 0.7; p <0.001) and exhibited hypoglycemia (74.5 ± 8.4 vs 94.0 ± 4.3 mg/dL; p= 0.002), lower bilirubin levels (<1 mg/dL; 0.0 ± 0.0 vs 0.09 ± 0.03 mg/dL; p= 0.002) indicating enhanced hepatic clearance, elevated BUN (23.8 ± 3.6 vs 20.9 ± 1.9 mg/dL; p <0.05), and increased CRP concentrations (2.0 ± 0.7 vs 1.7 ± 0.4 mg/dL; p= 0.042). These biochemical alterations indicate a negative energy balance and subclinical inflammation, which are likely important etiological factors contributing to RBS in tropical dairy cows. The findings suggest that metabolic correction strategies may improve fertility, although further validation is required.
