Abstract EN

The objective of the present study was to determine the macro-mineral status (calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium) in Iraqi cow buffaloes suffering from retained placenta after normal parturition or after abortion in comparison with normal parturition without retained placenta(control) .The study was conducted on (32) Iraqi buffaloes aged from 4-12years and each of them had one or more calving.

The study was conducted from July 2011 to February 2012.Animals were divided in to four groups each group contain (8) adult buffaloes First group included buffaloes that not pregnant and her last parturition (normal group),the Second group included buffalo cows having normal parturition(control group), Third group included buffalo cows suffering from retained placenta after abortion in the third trimester, Fourth group suffering from retained placenta after normal parturition.

Data were collected including clinical examination was performed taking in to account case history, general examination and as per-rectal palpation, vaginal examination and blood sample to identify the level of calcium , inorganic phosphorus and magnesium using available Kits.The result showed that there were decrease in serum calcium10.250±0.346, 7.984±0.263, 7.046 ±0.198,5.828±0.234mg/dl inorganic phosphorus 4.833±0.284,4.237±0.275,3.951±0.128, 3.625±0.190 mg/dl magnesium 2.942±0.138, 2.751±0.187, 2.482±0.124, 2.221±0.0963 mg/dl level in the four groups, respectively and significant(p<0.01) between buffalo cows suffering from retained placenta after abortion in the third trimester with buffalo cows suffering from retained placenta after normal parturition compared with normal parturition without retained placenta and buffalo cows that not pregnant and parturition at last time.It could be concluded that deficiency of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in Iraqi buffaloes might be a possible causes or predisposing factors for retained placenta and abortion.
