“…Moreover, postpartum anestrus is longer in continuously suckled than restricted or partial suckled cow and buffaloes (Bastidas et al, 1984;Nordin and Jainudeen, 1991). Postpartum anestrus is longer in suckled beef cow than milked dairy cow.…”

Anestrus is a functional disorder of reproductive cycle in cattle and buffalo which is characterized by absence of overt signs of estrus and also affecting the livestock enterprise to a great extent. Incidence of anestrus is more in buffalo than the cattle, and problem is severe during summer. Anestrus is a multifactorial problem but its occurrence signals the inadequate nutrition, environmental stress, uterine pathology and improper managemental practices. It can be classified based on physiological and pathological conditions of the animals. Diagnosis is based on the exploration of the different causative factors involved in. Many therapeutic agents (hormonal and non hormonal) have been used, however, as such there is no single panacea to correct it. Though, recruitment and emergence of follicular wave is usually not affected, the derangement in subsequent growth and development and ovulation of dominant follicle leads to anovulatory anestrus. In order to achieve efficient management strategies, further research is needed for better understanding of its etiology, diagnosis and therapeutics.

According to different authors, the first rise of progesterone appears between 16 and 69 days after calving in dairy cows (Webb et al, 1977(Webb et al, , 1980Pirchner et al, 1983) and between 56 and 96 days in suckled cows (Fonseca et al, 1980 ;Peters and Riley 1982 ; Jainudeen et al, 1982 Jainudeen et al, /1983Montgomery et al, 1985).…”

Summary. The Clinically, the postpartum period is characterized by a period of behavioural anoestrus, the duration of which differs in different breeds.If the detection of oestrus is optimal, anoestrus lasts for 20 to 70 days in dairy cows Callahan et al., 1971 ;Schams et al., 1978 ;Pirchner et al., 1983 ;Richardson et al., 1983 ;Etherington et al., 1984). This period is highly variable in suckled cows and lasts from 30 to 110 days (Wiltbank and Cook 1958 ;Oxenreider 1968 ;Graves et al., 1968 ;Casida et al., 1968 ; Nancarrow et al., 1977 ;Holness et al., 1978 ;Wettemann et a/., 1978 ;Short et al., 1979 ;Dunn and Kaltenbach, 1980 ;Kesler et al., 1980 ;Randel, 1981 ;Montgomery, 1982 ;Peters and Riley, 1982 . Jainudeen et al., 1982Bastidas et al., 1984 ;King and Mc Leod, 1983Leod, /1984Hansen and Hauser, 1984 ;Montgomery et al., 1985).Assay of progesterone in plasma or milk has shown that 88 % of animals of dairy breeds have an luteal activity present by 35 days after calving (Ball and Lamming, 1983) and 95 % within 50 days (Bulman and Lamming, 1978). According to different authors, the first rise of progesterone appears between 16 and 69 days after calving in dairy cows (Webb et al., 1977(Webb et al., , 1980Pirchner et al., 1983) and between 56 and 96 days in suckled cows (Fonseca et al., 1980 ;Peters and Riley 1982 ; Jainudeen et al., 1982 Jainudeen et al., /1983Montgomery et al., 1985).It is possible to detect ovarian follicles by rectal palpation in both milked and suckled cow from the second week after calving (Saiduddin et al., 1968 ;Callahan et al., 1971 ;Kesler et al., 1979 ;Webb et al., 1980 ;Kesler et al., 1980 ;Stevenson et al., 1983 (Wiltbank et al., 1962(Wiltbank et al., , 1964Dunn et al., 1969 ; Lammond, 1970 ;Corah et al., 1975 ;Whitman et a/., 1975 ;Duffour, 1975 ;Holness et al., 1978 ;Carstairs et al., 1980 ;Dunn and Kaltenbach, 1980 ; Gauthier and Thimonnier, 1982 ;Peters and Riley, 1982 ; Mc Leod, 1983/1984 ;Rutter and Randel, 1984). Some authors have found that overfeeding improves ovarian (Wiltbank et al., 1962(Wiltbank et al., , 1964Hansen et al., 1982) or pituitary (Beal et al., 1978 ;Jordan and Swanson, 1979 ;Lishman et al., 1979 ;Moss et al., 1982) function. Others have found no relation between feeding and the ovarian (Lishman et al., 1979 ;Carstairs et al., 1980) or pituitary (Hill et a/., 1970 ;Dunn et al., 1974 ;Spitzer et al., 1978 ;Haresign, 1981 ;Rutter and Randel, 1984) activity.Little is known about the mechanism under which diet exerts its effect. It is conceivable that feeding influences the ovarian response to gonadotropins (Gombe and Hansel, 1973). There was a positive correlation between the degree of fatness of an animal and the plasma concentration of 17 !3-oestradiol, 7 weeks after calving (Lishman et al., 1979).Feeding affects the release of luteinizing hormone (LHI and subsequent luteal function Spitzer et al., 1975 ;Apgar et al., 1975 ;Beal et al., 1978). It has been observed that the release of LH induced by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) injection was grea...

“…The reproductive performance of zebu and improved cattle in tropical regions remains low, as the annual calving rate is about 50% (Bastidas et al, 1984). This low reproductive efficiency is due to various factors, and it becomes the major limitation to meat and milk production (Rodrfguez and Segura, 1995).…”

A longitudinal study was conducted on post-partum reproductive problems in small and medium scale dairy production systems in Wolaita Sodo from October 2011 to May 2012. The objectives of the study were to identify the major clinically manifested postpartum problems, estimating the prevalence and investigating the potential risk factors related to the occurrence of postpartum problems of dairy cows in the area. From a total 634 dairy cow examined, 57(8.99%) cows had different types of partum and postpartum problems: abortion (0.63%), dystocia (0.79%), retained fetal membrane (3.36%), uterine prolapse (0.47%), milk-fever (1.42%) and metritis (2.84%). A significant difference was observed in the occurrence of postpartum problems among age groups of cows (P <0.05) and parity (P <0.05). Higher prevalence of postpartum problems was recorded in older (15.20%, CI=7.82-22.61) than the younger cows. The prevalence of postpartum problems was higher in cows with seven and more than seven parity (15.70%, CI=7.11-24.31) than those cows having less than seven parity. Dairy cows postpartum problems were found to be one of the major problems in Wolaita Sodo. To reduce the postpartum problems due attention should be given for proper herd or individual cow management, early identification and diagnosis of the reproductive problems and awareness creation for owners.
