ABSTRACT :
The present investigation was carried out in Holstein Fresian crossbred cows at a commercial dairy farm located near Tirupati. A total of 30, consisting of ten calved normally (Group I) and 20 RFM affected crossbred cows maintained under uniform conditions were selected randomly. The RFM affected cows were divided into two groups of ten each (Group II and Group III). The Group II cows were subjected to manual removal of RFM and provided a variety of drug therapy. Whereas, Group III cows were not subjected to manual removal of RFM, however, 2-3 infusions of 20 ml diluted povidone - iodine intrauterine at weekly intervals starting at day 15-17 postpartum were placed.
Cows in Group III were continuously watched for spontaneous expulsion of fetal membranes. Blood samples from each cow were collected at day 1, 8, 15, 25 and 35 postpartum in EDTA coated tubes. The TLC and lymphocytes, neutrophils in whole blood and haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, arachidonic acid, nitrate and nitrite in blood plasma were determined. The reproductive tract of each cow was palpated per rectum at weekly intervals starting at day 15-17 postpartum until completion of uterine involution. Uterine biopsies were obtained after uterine involution and all cows were observed for first postpartum heat.
During the period of experiment all cows were found to be healthy. The cows in Group III expelled retained fetal membranes spontaneously on an average 6-7 days (2-12 days). The haematological parameters studied did not differ significantly either between or within groups. The mean plasma haptoglobin concentrations did not differ between and within groups. Plasma ceruloplasmin concentrations differed (P
