An experiment was carried out on twelve lactating Murrah buffaloes during early lactation of 50-70 days in the Cattle Yard of the National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal. Six buffaloes were kept under water showers (Group 1) while another group of buffaloes were allowed to wallow in a water pond (Group 2) from 11.00 A.M. to 4.00 P.M. daily for a period of 30 days. Blood samples were collected from buffaloes of both the groups at 3 day interval on day 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 of the experiment and analysed for plasma thyroxine (T4 ), triiodothyronine (T3 ), cortisol and insulin hormones. The thermal humidity index (THI)s was 80.3 and 83.6 during the hot-dry and hot-humid seasons, respectively. During the hot-dry season, average plasma T4 and insulin levels were significantly (P Not Available |
