Foot and Mouth Disease cause severe economic losses to the mithun farmers in north eastern hilly region especially Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachale Pradesh. Regular preventive and prophylactic vaccination is very much needed in mithun rearing areas. But the vaccination causes severe adverse effects on the reproduction and production performance both in male and female mithun. In this book, effect of FMD vaccination on mithun reproduction especially semen production, semen quality, antioxidant and biochemical profiles of mithun semen are described. This book will be helpful to the...

Cattle productivity depends largely on reproductive efficiency and is often measured by number of off-spring per breeding animal per unit of time. Cattle suffer to a large extent from the postpartum reproductive disorders which cause great economic losses to the dairy farmers. This is due to lack of essential minerals and vitamins, improper functioning of reproductive organs and poor follicular development in cows. Therefore treatment with different medicaments are essential to control the infertility problem besides proper feeding and health control. This book explains about various...

Indigenous breeds of cattle are well adapted to the tropical environment conditions. These breed population is decreasing very drastically in countries like India. Tharparkar is an Indian dual purpose breed. Semen collection and preservation are very important to conserve and preserve this precious germplasm. Production, quality and biochemical composition of semen is affected by seasons. This book explains about semen production, quality and expression of heat shock protein and genes in semen of Tharparkar bulls. This book will be very useful for cattle breeders, researchers and farmers.

Over the last few years, effect of various concentrations of melatonin on semen preservation was studied in domestic animals and seasonal variation in melatonin production and its effect on semen production, quality were also studied. Melatonin is used as an antioxidant in semen preservation in the present study at various concentrations. Moreover, seminal parameters with various antioxidant and biochemical profiles were studied at different concentrations and at different seasons. Addition of this additive on semen preservation will improve the conception rate and reduces the repeat breeding...

Mithun (Bos frontalis) is a unique free - range bovine species available in the North Eastern hill (NEH) region of India. Recent statistics indicates that the mithun population is decreasing gradually in NEH region. Various factors are influenced and some of the factors are lack of proper feeding management and declining land area for grazing in this region. Greater efforts are required from all quarters to preserve the mithun population to enhance the socio-economic status of this region. There are various methods of feeding system and feeding materials are available in semi- intensive...

Continued demand of information about breeding, artificial collection, preservation and insemination of duck semen is increasing for the effective utilization of good germplasm for production and reproduction improvement of duck and economy of the duck breeders and farmers. Analysis of seminal parameters of breeding duck is important to utilize for artificial insemination, propagation of good quality duck germ plasm in breeding places. This book has explained about shed management for breeding duck, semen collection, processing, analysis of various seminal, biochemical and enzymatic profiles...

The indigenous pigs are scavengers, medium to large size, somewhat semi-wild in their behaviour and possess good mothering ability. The productive and reproductive traits of these animals have convinced the piggery farmers to take up piggery as a source of income generation. The native types still represent a valuable component of genetic resources. The book has described about the phenotypic, morphometric and reproductive parameters of indigenous pigs of Nagaland, India. The book will be very useful to the pig rearers, pig breeder, pig research scientist and scholars to conserve the...

Small ruminants such as sheep and goat play a major role in the rural economy. Animal production and reproduction depend on the feed efficiency which in turn is controlled by the appropriate interplay of hormones via enzymes in the system. Enzyme concentration in blood is proportional to the intracellular concentration and represents the metabolic activity and the physiological status of the animal. The enzyme system acts as a biocatalytic domin in the biological system. Serum enzymes are the index of metabolic profile of an animal which are subjected to reproductive physiological variation....

Communication behavior of the farmers refers to the degree to which a farmer exposes himself to various information sources communicating livestock technology, the extent to which he processes the information so received and the extent to which he uses or passes on the information so received to others. Communication behavior of livestock farmers may be operationally defined as the outcome of different dimensions such as information input, information processing and information output.Information input refers to all the activities performed by an individual for acquiring scientific livestock...
