BIOCHEMICAL AND THERAPEUTIC STUDIES ON POSTPARTUM INDIGESTION (PPI) IN BUFFALOES

This study examines postpartum indigestion (PPI) in buffaloes, focusing on hepatic involvement and potential therapeutic measures. Clinical examination, urine, blood, and rumen fluid analyses were conducted. Different treatment groups were identified, and therapeutic efficacy was assessed. Conclusions highlight the importance of addressing ruminal disorders and recommend specific treatments. Urine analysis postpartum is suggested for early detection and prevention of PPI in buffaloes.

  1. BIOCHEMICAL AND THERAPEUTIC STUDIES ON POSTPARTUM INDIGESTION (PPI) IN BUFFALOES Dr. K. Padmaja Associate Professor & Head Dept of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary Science Rajendranagar, Hyderabad.

  2. INTRODUCTION • Buffalo Population (FAO, 2008): • World 185.29 millions • India 105.10 millions (57%) • Telangana 4.19 millions (2012) (4%) • Milk Production (GOI 2011-12): • India: Total Milk 127.90 Mill Tons • Buffaloes 65.35 Mill Tons (51%)

  3. INTRODUCTION • Objectives: • To study the incidence of PPI in buffaloes associated with hepatic insufficiency and production diseases. • To conduct a detailed clinical examination of cases of PPI (i.e., 0-2 months after calving). • To study the involvement of liver in PPI with the help of biochemical indices. • To study the association of PPI with subclinical forms of hypocalcaemia and ketosis. • To evolve suitable therapeutic and prophylactic measures for their prevention.

  4. MATERIALS AND METHODS

  5. Selection of animals • Clinical Examination • Collection of materials • Urine – Sulkowitch, Ross modified • Rothera’s and Wallace-diamond • Tests. • Blood and serum – Glucose, Calcium, • Phosphorous, Magnesium, Total • Bilirubin, AST, GGT, Total Protein • and Albumin • Milk - Ross modified Rothera’s Test • Rumen Liquor – pH, Colour, Odour, • Consistency and SAT; MBRT, • Microbial alterations.

  6. Based on Urinalysis following groups were made, • Group I: Healthy animals • Group II: a. PPI + subclinical hypocalcaemia • b. PPI + subclinical ketosis • Group III: PPI + hepatic involvement • Group IV: a. PPI + hepatic involvement + • subclinical hypocalcaemia. • b. PPI + hepatic involvement + • subclinical ketosis • Group V: PPI alone

  9. RESULTS & DISCUSSION

  10. Period of study - 17 months Cases of PPI 90 (28.13 %) Incidence of PPI

  11. Incidence of PPI

  12. CLINICAL SIGNS • Decreased appetite • Reduction in milk yield. • Termperature, Pulse and Respirations were normal. • Decreased Ruminal motility.

  13. URINE ANALYSIS: Wallace-Diamond Test Sulkowitch Test Ross modified Rothera’s Test

  14. URINE ANALYSIS: L = Low N = Normal -ve = Negative PLR = Pink to Light Red CR = Cherry Red

  15. REDUCTION (%) IN MILK YIELD OF PPI BUFFALOES

  16. Average milk yield (L/day) before and after therapy

  17. Mean Serum parameters of Group I (Healthy) animals

  28. Rumen fluid analysis of buffaloes before and after treatment among Groups Va and Vb

  29. Therapeutic efficacy based on improvement percentage in milk yield and recovery

  30. Therapeutic efficacy of different treatments * Means with different alphabets as superscripts differ significantly (P<0.05)

  31. CONCLUSIONS • Inadequate supply of nutrients to the body due to ruminal disorders is the cause of insufficiency of the liver. • The treatment of PPI in buffaloes, • Hepatoprotective and liver stimulant drugs • i/v glucose, • Oral calcium preparation and • Combination of probiotics and prebiotics • Urine analysis on day 15, 30, 45 and 60 postpartum for bile pigments is recommended for early detection and prevention of PPI in buffaloes.
