| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
A number of other qualitative signs of oestrus have been described including: mounting of other cows, ruffling of the rump hair or abrasion of the rump skin, vulval relaxation and moistness, oestrous mucus appearing from the vulva, sensitivity to palpation of the rump and general restlessness |
| Disease Description |
During estrous cycle, the reproductive tract is prepared for estrus or heat (the period of sexual receptivity) and ovulation (ovum release). The cycle is divided into four parts: proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus. |
| Disease Control |
Surgery - ovariohysterectomy (spaying) - recommended.
Medical management using hormonal drugs – not recommended very often due to risks. |
| Disease Prevention |
Hormones are commonly used to manipulate the estrous cycle. The major indications for hormonal control of estrus are to induce luteolysis, induce ovulation of a mature follicle, suppress estrus, induce cyclicity in anestrous animals, and superovulate cyclic animals. |
| Precautions |
|
| Procedure of Use |
Fully-grown cows and buffalos do not often come in to oestrus or heat. Since this means there is no calving, there is also no milk production which is a loss to the farmer. This causes a financial burden on the farmer.
As a remedy, Sampatbhai Kunkani takes 100 to 150 gram of leaves of "jethimadh" (Glycyrrhiza glabra). These leaves are mixed with one kilogram jaggery and fed to the animal. If the animal shows no inclination to consume the herbal sweet, "jethimadh" leaves and jaggery are boiled in water. After cooling, the solution is drenched to the animal through a drench-pipe. By this treatment, the animal comes in to heat in 12 to 15 days.
For uterine infection and retention of placenta also, (glycyrrhiza glabra) is useful herbal medicine. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
The dominant follicle produces enough estrogen to cause estrus, thus starting the next estrous cycle. If the heifer or cow becomes pregnant, the embryo prevents the uterus from releasing prostaglandin F2-alpha and the corpus luteum continues to release progesterone. |
