| Abstract: |
Anestrus Chauri (Yak hybrid) cattle raised in Jiri area of Dolakha district, Nepal were selected to
investigate the status of blood nutritional parameters in relation to their reproductive performance
during active breeding months. Blood samples were collected from 20 (13 pregnant and 7 nonpregnant) anestrus Chauries to estimate nutritional parameters in serum, and body condition score
(BCS) of each animal was recorded. The non-pregnant anestrus Chauries were supplemented with
vitamin-mineral mixture for two months followed by second blood sampling and BCS recording.
The response of supplementation was evaluated in terms of estrus, fertile mating and pregnancy. Four
out of 7 (57%) non-pregnant anestrus Chauries responded to the vitamin-mineral supplementation to
produce pregnancy. Statistical analysis revealed that level of blood glucose, total cholesterol, calcium
and phosphorus were not significantly different between pregnant and non-pregnant anestrus Chauries
while the level of serum total protein was significantly higher in pregnant than in non-pregnant
Chauries. BCS of pregnant and non-pregnant Chauries differed significantly (p
conception was observed in Chauries with BCS greater than 3.0. When compared with the levels
of blood nutritional parameters before supplementation, higher level (p
cholesterol and calcium were observed after vitamin-mineral supplementation. In conclusion, blood
nutritional parameters and BCS indicate the reproductive performance in Chauries, and vitaminmineral supplementation in non-pregnant Chauries helps in achieving pregnancy. |
