“…Bilirubin level decreased subsequently in serum and reached nearly normal values after 24 hr of fetal delivery (1.09±0.03 mg/dl). Similar conclusion were seen in previous studies (Jeengar et al, 2015b;Tripathi and Mehta, 2016) [17,35] . The increased concentrations of serum creatinine in uterine torsion affected buffaloes (2.74±0.02 mg/dl) compared to normal parturient buffaloes (0.97±0.03 mg/dl).…”

“…AST level decreased 24 hr after fetal delivery (78.89±0.27 U/L). Similar findings were seen in previous studies (Amer et al, 2008; Jeengar et al, 2015b; Tripathi and Mehta, 2016) [2,17,35] . It was indicated that uterine torsion affects the liver of the animal due to endotoxins resulting from muscle damage (Farrage et al, 1984) [10] .…”

“…This is also encountered in other stressful conditions causing the release of catecholamines from adrenal medulla (Altland and Highman, 1961) [1] and tissue hypoxia which have been demonstrated to be responsible for increased circulating level of ALT by increasing the permeability of cell membrane (Highman et al, 1959;Highman and Altland, 1960) [13,12] . ALT values decreased subsequently and reached to normal after 24 hr of fetal delivery (39.09±0.54 U/L) which supports the previous findings (Jeengar et al, 2015b; Tripathi and Mehta 2016) [17,35] .…”

“…In the present study, AST level was elevated at the time of presentation of uterine torsion affected buffaloes (88.86±1.60 U/L) compared to normal parturient buffaloes (62.42±0.45 U/L). Similar elevated level of AST was also seen in previous findings in uterine torsion cases ( [20,17,35,23] . Significant increases in AST activities may be attributed to muscle exhaustion produced by strong abdominal contractions due to uterine torsion (Hussein and Abdh Ellah, 2008) [15] and are often a reflection of cellular destruction or diseases (Oliveira et al, 1998;Hoeben et al, 2000) [24,14] .…”

Fifty-five female buffaloes suffering from uterine torsion were presented to the clinic of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, CVAS, Navania, Udaipur, Rajasthan for treatment. Three times blood samples were obtained from 55 buffaloes with uterine torsion (at the time of presentation of the animal, 1 h and 24 h after fetal delivery) and 10 healthy buffaloes to investigate the relationship between concentrations of aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Bilirubin, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The aim of this study was to investigate related alterations in these blood constituents. There were significant (p<0.01) increases in AST, ALT, Bilirubin, serum creatinine and BUN in the affected buffaloes, possibly due to high uterine tissue damage. It may be inferred that torsion may lead to imbalance in biochemical profiles that affect the proper functioning of the uterine musculature. Buffaloes subjected to uterine torsion are associated with hepatic and renal dysfunction. In conclusion, concentration of above parameters can be used as a prognostic indicator for the occurrence of uterine torsion in buffaloes.

“…One of the abnormalities observed in dairy cows during calving is dystocia, which includes uterine torsion. Uterine torsion is a common cause of dystocia in dairy cows, [2,3] and can result in local ischemia, fetal death, or even the death of the cow [2]. However, the rate of calcium administration is higher in cows with uterine torsion compared to cows with other forms of dystocia [4].…”

Mineral deficiencies can lead to dystocia and abnormalities in neonates. In dairy cows, the stillbirth of neonatal calves due to dystocia has become an economic problem. Uterine torsion is a common form of dystocia observed in dairy cows. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the characteristics of serum trace element concentrations in dairy cows with uterine torsion. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively measure and compare the serum trace element concentrations in dairy cows with uterine torsion and their neonates. The study found that calves delivered by cows with uterine torsion had significantly higher fetal mortality rates compared to those delivered from cows without uterine torsion. The odds ratio for fetal mortality in dairy cows with uterine torsion was 7.85. Maternal serum Zinc (Zn) concentrations in cows with uterine torsion were significantly lower than those in cows without uterine torsion (p < 0.01). In addition, the Cu: Zn ratios of cows with uterine torsion were significantly higher than that of cows without torsion (p < 0.05). In contrast, serum cobalt (Co) concentrations in neonates from cows with uterine torsion were significantly higher than those in neonates from cows without torsion (p < 0.01). In conclusion, uterine torsion is associated with a higher fetal mortality rate and greater economic loss than other types of dystocia. Further investigation is required to better understand the relationship between uterine torsion and trace mineral levels.
