“…Xylazine is widely used in cattle, but in buffaloes, high doses are associated with increased salivation [ 15 ]. This effect on salivary glands has been attributed both to increased secretion through alpha-1-adrenergic receptors and to a decreased swallowing reflex [ 18 ].…”

“…Xylazine in buffaloes also causes hypotension and bradycardia [ 15 , 31 ]. Bradycardia is caused by the effects of the drug on the central and autonomic nervous systems and the compensatory response to cardiovascular depression [ 18 ].…”

“…Xylazine is widely used in cattle which are more sensitive to the effects of this drug and require one-tenth of the dose used in horses [ 14 ]. In buffaloes, high doses of xylazine cause marked sedation, increased salivation, regurgitation and bradycardia [ 15 ]. However, a lower intramuscular dose (0.10 to 0.15 mg/kg) was suggested in buffalo calves, suggesting that it may have potential for use as a premedication in these species [ 16 ].…”

Castration is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in livestock. All methods of castration are associated with a significant degree of pain, affecting the patients’ welfare. Limited information on species-specific protocols in buffaloes is available. Considering the importance of this species and the scarcity of reports available, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different intramuscular doses of xylazine for premedication in water buffalo calves undergoing isoflurane maintenance anaesthesia for routine castration surgery. Twenty clinically healthy male water buffaloes undergoing bilateral orchiectomy were randomly assigned to two groups of 10 animals each: Group 1 was premedicated with xylazine 0.1 mg/kg bw i.m. and Group 2 was premedicated with xylazine 0.15 mg/kg bw i.m. Anaesthesia was induced by ketamine (2 mg/kg bw i.v.) and maintained with isoflurane-oxygen-air in both groups. The HR, RR, presence/absence of ataxia, sedation, depth of anaesthesia, muscle relaxation status, response to acoustic and tactile stimuli, eyelid reflex, extent of salivation and stimulus were evaluated every 5 min. Both protocols provided consistent sedation and were safe. Faster and more satisfactory sedation was recorded when xylazine was administered at 0.15 mg/kg bw i.m., leading us to recommend this dose for buffalo orchiectomy.

“…Maternal factor-Maternal and fetal indications for performing a cesarean section. Maternal indications include immature heifers, pelvic deformities and failure of cervical dilation, uncorrectable uterine torsion, uterine tear, hydrops and prepartum paralysis (Dubay, 1987;Campbell and Fubini, 1990;Frazer et al, 1996;Purohit and Mehta, 2006;Ravinder et al, 2008, Purohit et al, 2013. Beef breeds that have double muscling (which is regarded as a desirable beef characteristic) such as Charolais, Limousin, South Devon and Belgian Blue breeds frequently require cesarean section (Kolkman et al, 2007;Kolkman et al, 2010).…”

Cesarean section is one of the oldest surgical procedure performed on cows for delivery of the fetus at parturition. Depending upon the health status of dam and fetus cesarean section has been classified as emergency, non emphysematous and emphysematous procedure. The common maternal indications for performing cesarean section include pelvic fractures, cervical dilation failure and uncorrectable uterine torsion whereas the fetal indication include oversized fetuses and maldisposed calves. Many anesthetic protocols are available for cow however, most cesarean section in cattle can be satisfactorily performed under mild sedation and local infiltration anesthesia using 2% lidocaine. Operative sites for cesarean section in cattle include right and left flank, midline, paramedian, parammary and oblique ventrolateral. The choice of operative sites depends upon facility and patient condition. Peri-operative (before, during and after the operation) care appears to be of utmost significance, post-operative complications of cesarean section include peritonitis, seroma formation, hernia and poor fertility. On the successful outcome of cesarean section in cows in terms of dam and calf survival and future fertility of cows underdoing cesarean section. Previous handling, delay in presentation to referral centers results in poor outcome and thus animal owners must be explained the benefits of prompt presentation of cow to cesarean section for optimal benefits.

“…Preoperative preparation included administration of sufficient fluid replacements, antibiotics and corticosteroids as described by Purohit et al, 2012. The principal operative site is left paramedian approach lateral and parallel to milk vein (Purohit et al, 2013). Right paramedian approach lateral and parallel to the milk vein was used in all the cases in present study as operations were performed more comfortably in this approach in buffaloes.…”

Cesarean section in buffaloes is an emergency operative procedure being performed principally for uncorrectable uterine torsions and for delivery of fetal monsters. Ten cases of uncorrectable uterine torsion and fetal abnormalities were reported at TVCC, IIVER, Rohtak. It was decided to perform cesarean section in all the cases. Buffaloes were restrained in left lateral recumbency with both forelimbs and hindlimbs tied separately. Cesarean sections were performed under local infiltration analgesia using 2% lignocaine HCl and sedation with triflupromazine. Uterus were sutured using absorbable suture material with chromic catgut no. 2 in all the cases. Before suturing, available antibiotic pessaries were placed in the uterus. Post-operatively fluid therapy (5 days), broad spectrum antibiotics (5 days), NSAIDS (3 days) along with multivitamin (3 days) were administered. All animals except one recovered uneventfully.
