BookPublisher: 1990Subject(s): Department of TheriogenologyDDC classification: 1133,T Dissertation note: A total number of 60 Nili-Ravi bu±faloes were included in the study to compare the vaginal bacterial flora. Out of these 60 animals 30 were cyclic and rest of the buffaloes were non-cyclic.
Bacteria belonging to five different species were isolated from 27 out of 30 in non-cyclic and 5 out of 30 in cyclic buffaloes. From the isolates, Staphylococcus aureus had the highest incidence (16.66%) followed by Streptococcus pyogenes (13.33%), Escherichia coli (8.33%), Coryriebacterium pyogenes (6.66%) mixed infection (5%) and Bacillus cereus (3.33%). The vaginal samples of Nili-Ravi buffaloes in non-cyclic group revealed a higher bacterial count as compared to cyclic group and it was concluded that higher bacterial load in the vagina was responsible for the reproductive problems.
No strain of Brucella could be isolated. The animals treated intra-vaginally responded favourably as the viable bacterial count was lowered after the intra- vaginal treatment.
On the basis of in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity test, Strepto-penicillin was recommended for the treatment of vaginal infections as the drug of choice as it was effective against the majority of the ilates.
During the fertility trials the average conception rate was 62.93% after the treatment in the non-cyclic group.
In the light of the results of present study, a detsiled investigation would be of significant importance as far as the sexual health control measures of the buffalo are concerned.
