    Abstract This study aims to measure the physiological responses of sixty clinically healthy periparturient crossbred multiparous dairy cows during the summer (February 2022–May 2022) and post-monsoon (October 2021–January 2022) seasons, with 30 animals in each season. Physiological responses such as rectal temperature (°C), respiration rate (per minute), and pulse rate (per minute) of all animals were recorded weekly at 8.00 am and 3.00 pm during the transition period. Three weeks before parturition to three weeks after parturition was considered the transition period. The rectal temperature recorded at 3.00 pm in the summer season significantly (p <0.05) decreased on the day of calving and thereafter returned to pre-partum values, whereas the respiration rate significantly (p <0.05) elevated on the day of calving and thereafter showed no significant variation. Season-wise comparison of all physiological responses in the morning (8.00 am) and evening (3.00 pm) during the transition period showed significantly higher values in the summer season compared to the post-monsoon season. In both seasons evening (3.00 pm) physiological responses were significantly higher than the morning values (8.00 am).

    Abstract The present study was undertaken to analyse the differences in the microRNA (miRNA) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged and unchallenged peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of cattle. The research work was carried out in adult apparently healthy female crossbred cattle maintained at the University Livestock Farm and Fodder Research and Development Scheme, Mannuthy. The expression of miRNA and bta-miR-93 was profiled in the present study by qRT-PCR assay. In silico analysis was done using various online bioinformatic tools for the prediction of target genes, gene ontology analysis and also to study the cellular pathways associated to the target genes of bta-miR-93. The expression analysis of bta-miR- 93 showed decrease in its expression in LPS treated PBMCs when compared to control cells. Besides, significant enrichment of target genes of bta-miR-93 was noticed in many immune-related GO terms and in critical immune-associated cellular pathways. The findings of the current study will help in understanding the regulatory role of bta-miR-93 in LPS-mediated immune responses in cattle.

    Abstract An incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) associated with coagulation disturbance in mitral valvular disease was diagnosed in a five-year-old female Dachshund. Morphologically moderate mitral valvular thickening and nodularity could be noticed on echocardiography. Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombocytopaenia supported the probable underlying mechanism for myocardial infarction and RBBB. The animal showed clinical improvement after one month of therapy with enalapril and torasemide for mitral valve insufficiency.

    Abstract The study was conducted to assess the difference in post-thaw quality parameters of Malabari buck spermatozoa of good and poor semen freezability. The ejaculates collected from Malabari bucks of good (n=3) and poor (n=3) semen freezability were pooled separately as group A and group B, respectively after the initial evaluation. The extended semen in each group was processed and cryopreserved by the conventional method of static vapour freezing. After thawing, the quality of semen in both groups was assessed in terms of progressive motility, viability, morphological abnormalities, acrosome integrity, functional membrane integrity and lipid peroxidation status (MDA) of spermatozoa. Results showed that there was no significant difference between the fresh semen characteristics of group A and B bucks except for concentration, progressive motility and functional membrane integrity of spermatozoa. But, post-thaw quality of groups A and B differed significantly in terms of progressive motility (48.89 ± 0.64 % vs 18.06 ± 1.08 %), viability (55.17 ± 0.57 % vs 26.33 ± 0.95 %), acrosome integrity (62.44 ± 0.62 % vs 33.42 ± 0.34 %), functional membrane integrity (47.00 ± 0.36 % vs 23.36 ± 0.63 %) and MDA concentration (7.83 ± 0.29 nmol/mL vs 13.95 ± 0.08 nmol/mL) whereas morphological abnormalities (2.11 ± 0.08 % vs 2.39 ± 0.09 %) did not differ significantly. The findings of the present study showed that even with similar fresh semen characteristics, spermatozoa from different Malabari bucks have varying degrees of cryosurvivability.

    Abstract Campylobacteriosis caused by Campylobacter spp. is considered as the most common cause of bacterial diarrhoea in humans across the globe. The current research was undertaken to assess the occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in duck and the associated environmental samples. Among 220 samples analysed, 7.73 per cent samples revealed the presence of Campylobacter spp. Majority of the samples contained C. coli (4.55 per cent) and C. jejuni was detected in 3.18 per cent of the samples. The present study revealed a high occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in duck rearing facilities in Thrissur district, Kerala. As the demand for duck products is increasing every year, the risk of contamination by Campylobacter spp. has to be viewed seriously. The study revealed the importance of multifaceted one health approach including human medicine, veterinary medicine, epidemiology, environmental hygiene, public health institutes and epidemiological surveillance agencies to control food-borne diseases and up-gradation of biosecurity measures.

    Abstract The extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) at genome wide level is crucial in determining the effectiveness of genomics tools in livestock breeding. The present population genomic study was conducted in native goat breeds of Kerala namely; Attapady Black goats (n=24) and Malabari goats (n=24) to characterise extent of LD within 40kbp marker interval using genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker data obtained by SNP50 BeadChip genotyping. Extent of LD between bi allelic markers was measured using correlation coefficient (r2). Mean r2 between adjacent SNP pairs across all autosomes within 40Kbp marker interval was low (Attapady Black: 0.1336; Malabari: 0.1284). The LD varied across autosomes in native goats. It was the highest for SNP pairs on Capra hircus autosome 6 (CHI 6) and the lowest for SNP pairs harboured in CHI 28 in Attapady Black goats and for SNP pairs in CHI 29 in Malabari goats. The low LD estimates indicate the genetically diverse nature of native goats. Current results also imply that denser SNP beadchip array with inter marker interval of below 40kbp would be desirable for effective genome wide association study (GWAS) and genomic selection in native goats.

    Abstract Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein that is of diagnostic significance in dairy cattle. In the present study, haptoglobin level was assessed during the periparturient period in 15 clinically healthy pregnant cows. The mean concentration of haptoglobin during transition was found to be 5.60 ± 0.54 mg/dL, whereas the concentration during the period immediately before and after transition was 4.80 ± 0.59 mg/ dL. The concentration obtained was greater than the reported concentration of 2mg/dL or less, in healthy ruminants. The higher concentrations observed were also associated with a higher concentration of serum non-esterified fatty acids of 0.576 ± 0.10 mmoles/L during transition and 0.328 ± 0.03 mmoles/L immediately outside the transition period. Increased haptoglobin might indicate the transient inflammation and a response to negative energy balance during transition in dairy cows.

    Abstract Medicinal plants are precious source of bioactive compounds which possess a range of beneficial properties and serve as the major source of medicine for a large proportion of population across the world. Since ancient times, Crataeva nurvala has been used as a vital herb in Ayurvedic system of medicine. In Unani system of medicine the bark of C. nurvala is used as an appetite stimulant and as an agent to decrease the secretion of bile and phlegm. In the present study, the methanol extract of stem bark of C. nurvala was analysed for preliminary phytochemicals and the chemical profiling of the extract was illustrated using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The phytochemical analysis revealed that the plant extract contained alkaloids, steroids and triterpenoids. The GC-MS analysis determined the presence of different compounds of biological importance. The identification and characterisation of the phytoconstituents in the extract could pave the way for the discovery of new drugs for various ailments.
