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
