Antioxidant and oxidative profiles differ between the seasons and between the collection times. Winter and spring have higher antioxidants and lower oxidative stress profile than summer. Level of antioxidants is higher and malondialdehyde is lower during night as compared to day time. Thus spring and winter seasons had greater beneficial effects than summer on health and wellbeing of the bovine species in tropical countries. This book will be useful to the scientists working in the biological rhythm of animals, animal breeders and dairy farmers.

Dystocia has been reported to be themost common cause of perinatal calf loss. Pelvic measurement is best method to deal calving problem due to abnormally small or mis-shaped pelvices to reduce dystocia. Male contributes significantly for fertility of the herd. Biometry of the reproductive system is important determining factor to improve the reproductive performances. Pelvimetric parameters were increased as per the age of the animal and these parameters were significantly differed between the age groups and this pelvimetry is to be used as a tool to select the breeding female. The biometry...

Haemato-biochemical profiles are important to screen the health and disease status of animals and are required to diagnose and treat many diseases. Reference values for clinical, biochemical and hematological parameters are required for data interpretation of health and disease status. Heamatological and biochemical parameters of bovine and bubaline species in different age, season and sex are presented in this book. Haemato-biochemical profiles are influenced by age, sex and season. Dry summer season is more stress to the bovine and bubaline species. The findings in the book will help in...

The book explained about the effect of hormonal interventions on fertility traits of bucks. Effect of melatonin and GnRH on various external body measurements like body weight, body length, wither height and chest girth, scrotal parameters like scrotal length, scrotal diameter, scrotal circumference and sexual characteristics like reaction time, libido score, Flehmen's response, serum testosterone level and haemato-biochemical parameters were explained. Exogenous melatonin and GnRH administration increased significantly the scrotal circumference, testicular length, testicular width, reaction...

Hämatologisch-biochemische Profile sind wichtig für die Untersuchung des Gesundheits- und Krankheitsstatus von Tieren und werden für die Diagnose und Behandlung vieler Krankheiten benötigt. Referenzwerte für klinische, biochemische und hämatologische Parameter sind für die Interpretation von Daten zum Gesundheits- und Krankheitsstatus erforderlich. In diesem Buch werden hämatologische und biochemische Parameter von Rindern und Bubalinen in verschiedenen Alters-, Saison- und Geschlechtsstufen vorgestellt. Die hämatologisch-biochemischen Profile werden durch Alter, Geschlecht und...

Andaman and Nicobar Islands have two different genetic groups of milch animals namely Andaman local cattle and Andaman local buffaloes. Andaman local cattle are distributed in Andaman group of Islands and Campbell Bay of Nicobar group of Islands. Andaman local cattle are non-descriptive and represent an admixture of different Indian breeds. It is believed that the Andaman local cattle have the inheritance from Red Sindhi, Sahiwal and Hariana. It is unique cattle, well adapted to special type of tropical humid island climatic and environmental condition. Andaman and Nicobar Islands have...
