“…The MDA concentration in transition and control buffaloes except in the three weeks postpartum were significantly higher (p<0.05) in summer compared to winter. The findings of Abdelrazek et al (2018) and Hady et al (2018) were similar to ours with significant increase in MDA postpartum compared to late gestation. Significantly higher levels of MDA on day zero of parturition reflected the increased oxidative stress in the animals.…”

“…In the present study, transition period did not affect the TEC significantly in the seasons studied. Similar findings were reported earlier in buffaloes (Abdulkareem, 2013 andAbdelrazek et al 2018); cattle (Hadj et al 2015); sheep (El-Ebissy, 2011); goat (Daramola et al2004). In winter, no significant difference in Hb was observed among all the weeks of transition period as well in control, while in summer, the Hb concentration was significantly lower (p<0.05) in 1 week prepartum compared to 2 weeks prepartum and control.…”

“…Similar to our findings Nikhil et al (2018) reported that season had no effect on haematological parameters such as Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC while TEC was significantly lower in monsoon compared to pre and post monsoon seasons in cross bred calves. Abdelrazek et al (2018) revealed non-significant (p>0.05) changes in TEC, PCV, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC along transition period during postpartum period in buffaloes.…”

Background: Environmental stress and transition period in buffaloes imposes significant changes in hemato-biochemical parameters. On this background the present study was attempted to evaluate biochemical parameters in transition buffaloes during summer and winter seasons. Methods: Thirty six advanced pregnant and non-pregnant Murrah buffaloes of around 5 years of age were randomly selected. Whole blood was collected from twelve buffaloes each in their transition period during winter and summer season for a period of five weeks and six non pregnant buffaloes for each season served as control. Haematological, biochemical parameters were estimated and THI was calculated in both the seasons. Result: The mean THI, TEC, Hb, MCH, MCHC, SOD activity and MDA levels were significantly higher (p less than 0.05) in summer compared to winter, while MCV and GSH activity was significantly higher (p less than 0.05) in winter compared to summer. No significant (p greater than 0.05) difference between seasons was observed with respect to TLC, monocyte and lymphocyte per cent. Moreover, Hb, SOD, GSH and MDA concentration differed significantly (p less than 0.05) throughout the transition period during summer and winter seasons, while TEC, MCV, MCH and MCV concentration did not change (p greater than 0.05) with transition period in both the seasons. The present study indicated that summer season had profound effect on hemato-biochemical parameters. While SOD, GSH and MDA could be used as markers of transitional stress in Murrah buffaloes.

“…More research should be done with a clear focus on the transition between various physiological stages if this species is to perform optimally under the stress of intensive production systems (Bauman, 2000;Campanile et al, 2006). Buffaloes exhibited a very different metabolic pattern from other ruminants (Fiore et al, 2017), and there were only been few investigations on the physiology of the transition period in buffaloes (Abdulkareem, 2013;Fiore et al, 2017;Abdelrazek et al, 2018). Quick alterations key metabolites such as NEFA, glucose and Ca have been linked to production and may be used to diagnose metabolic and reproductive disorders in dairy cow.…”

Water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical countries that include the Indian sub-continent and some Mediterranean countries such as Egypt. The transition period is the most stressful period for buffaloes, and it is considered as a turning point in the productive cycle from one lactation to the next and includes different metabolic, physiological, and nutritional changes. Metabolic disorders are common causes of lower productivity in buffaloes. Of these metabolic disorders, ketosis and hypocalcemia are most prevalent. This study aimed to study the ketosis-and hypocalcemia-related biochemical changes during the transition period and their impacts on the postpartum reproductive fertility in Buffaloes. Out of 120 total number of examined buffaloes, 40 buffaloes were used in this study; control group (n=10), hypocalcemia-affected (n=15), and ketosis-affected group (n=15). All buffaloes were subjected to thorough clinical and gynecological examination. Both urine and blood samples were collected from all groups. The amounts of ketone bodies were detected in urine. Biochemical parameters were evaluated including concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, albumin, total protein, urea and progesterone hormone (P4) in blood the following time-points (2-weeks prepartum, 1-week prepartum, partum, 1-week postpartum, and 2-weeks postpartum). Both hypocalcemia-and ketosis affected buffaloes had lower glucose, phosphorus, sodium and albumin and higher NEFA than control group. Hypocalcemia-affected buffaloes showed lower calcium and higher total protein than control group, while, ketosis-affected buffaloes showed lower cholesterol and total protein than control group. Moreover, metabolic disorders negatively affected the reproductive performance. Both ketosis and hypocalcemia significantly prolonged the duration to first estrus, increased both the number of days-open and the number of services per conception.

“…Non-significant variation was seen in monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. Patel et al (2017) [16] and Abdelrazek et al (2018) [1] also observed lymphocytopenia and neutrophilia. Increased cortisol levels during calving may be responsible for lymphocytopenia (Jacor et al, 2001) [9] .…”

Peri-parturient period in cows is often considered to be between 3 weeks pre-partum to 3 weeks postpartum. It is the most stressful phase of transition for dairy cows from pregnant non-lactating state to lactation. A total of 42 peri-parturient Gir cows were included in the present study to determine the haemato-biochemical alterations during peri-parturient period. Ten apparently healthy Gir cows were also selected (which were outside the peri-parturient period) to have base line data on haematobiochemical parameters for the comparison and analysis. There was significant (p<0.05) decrease in haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC) and lymphocytes during peri-parturient period in dairy cows whereas, neutrophils were found significantly (p<0.05) increased. There was also significant (p<0.01) decrease in total leucocytes counts (TLC) during peri-parturient period Non-significant differences were observed in platelet count, monocytes count, eosinophils count and basophils count in dairy cows during peri-parturient period and control animals. The biochemical parameters revealed highly significant decrease (p<0.01) in serum glucose, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) during peri-parturient period as compared to control group. Total proteins (TP) and albumin were also found significantly (p<0.05) decreased. There was significant increase (p<0.05) in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration during peri-parturient period as compared to control group.
