Some protocol treatments for retained placenta in local iraqi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)‎

Abstract EN

The study aimed to evaluate different protocol treatments efficiency on fetal membranes retention in local Iraqi buffaloes breed (Bubalus bubalis) and some reproductive efficiency criteria for the treated animals under field condition.

A study was conducted on 80 local buffalo cows breed (Bubalus bubalis) in the south of Baghdad suffered from retained placenta after parturition or abortion, they treated with different protocols (PGF2α+Ut.Pes+Placenta removed manually, PGF2α+ GnRH +ut.Pes+Placenta removed manually+systemic antibiotics + mineral inj, PGF2α+ systemic antibiotics and PGF2α), according to healthy status (if there was any complications or hypocalcaemia or magnecimia injuries and others).

Results revealed that the mean duration days treatment were (3.25, 2.5, 3.5, 4.2), mean duration days open were (99.5, 73.3, 106.5, 109.0) and the pregnant percentages were (80.0, 90.0, 70.0, 60.0)%, respectively for the four groups (G1,G2,G3 and G4).

We concluded that treatment with PGF2α+ GnRH+Ut.Pes+Placenta manually removed + systemic antibiotics+meniral inj, was the highly effective for buffalo retention fetal membranes at (P≤0.05) and PGF2α+ GnRH hormones preferred to be given after delivery.
