Abstract

Present investigation was carried out on 28 repeat breeding cross bred cows during their post-partum period in their second to seventh lactation from different villages of Satara district. Serum was separated from collected blood samples and analyzed for certain biochemical parameters viz. protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, calcium, and phosphorus and blood urea nitrogen. These serum biochemical constituents were compared with serum levels in normal cyclical and repeat breeding cattle reported by various researchers.

Highlights

Minerals play an intermediate role in the promotion of action of hormones and enzymes at sub cellular levels in an integrated fashion and regulate functions of reproduction and production of domestic animals
The repeat breeding condition in dairy cows affects the fertility of the cattle to a considerable extent and incurs great economic loss to the farmer
Repeat breeder cows chosen for the study were in their second to seventh lactation selected on the basis of history

Summary

Introduction

Minerals play an intermediate role in the promotion of action of hormones and enzymes at sub cellular levels in an integrated fashion and regulate functions of reproduction and production of domestic animals. Nutritional deficiencies in animals result into depletion of minerals and deranged enzymatic activity affecting the normal reproductive behaviour. Lactation places a heavy drain on an animal already deficient especially in certain minerals and in the general level of feeding [1]. Biochemical profile can indicate the nutritional status of the minerals and other constituents, and help in diagnosis and management of infertility in animals. The repeat breeding condition in dairy cows affects the fertility of the cattle to a considerable extent and incurs great economic loss to the farmer. Mineral imbalances or deficiency may be a factor responsible for repeat breeding condition in animals
