Content Highlights
- Discusses new and traditional treatment concepts, emphasizing the evolution of veterinary practices.
- Introduces practical techniques for pregnancy diagnosis such as:
- Recto-abdominal palpation for small ruminants.
- Milk ejection test for early pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, noted for their high accuracy (90-100%).
Practical Application
- Emphasizes techniques applicable in Indian field conditions, avoiding reliance on costly or complex equipment.
- Highlights clinical cases related to cattle and buffalo to provide relevant practical examples.
- Encourages the adoption of modern treatment methods while addressing the limitations of outdated practices.
Conclusion

Comparative Anatomy of Reproductive Tracts
- Ovaries exhibit distinct shapes across species:
- Cow, she buffalo, ewe, doe: Almond-shaped
- Mare: Bean or kidney-shaped
- Sow: Resembles a cluster of grapes (berry-shaped)
- Functions of the ovaries include:
- Oogenesis (exocrine function)
- Secretion of hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, oxytocin, and relaxin (endocrine function)
Uterine Tubes
- Also known as oviducts or fallopian tubes, these paired structures connect ovaries to the uterus.
- Size:
- Length: 20-30 cm
- Diameter: 2-3 mm
- Divided into three parts:
- Infundibulum: Funnel-shaped, the ovarian end
- Ampulla: Middle section
- Isthmus: Constricted section near the uterus
- Functions:
- Collection of ova (infundibulum)
- Transport of ova
- Fertilization occurs at the ampullary-isthmic junction
Uterus
- A thick, hollow muscular organ with two horns, a short body, and cervix.
- Located in the pelvic cavity in non-pregnant females.
- Related to the rectum above and urinary bladder below, attached by the broad ligament (mesometrium).
Behavioural Signs of Oestrus
-
Mare:
- Vicious temperament and frequent urination
- Brownish-yellow vaginal discharge
- Tail head raised and exposed clitoris through "winking"
- Congested vulvar mucous membrane changes color to orange or scarlet
- Turns back to stallion and stands with tail raised
-
Ewe and Doe:
- Signs of restlessness and anorexia
- Occasional homosexual behavior in does
- Frequent bleating indicative of heat in does
- Drop in milk yield and vulvar swelling
- Tail shaking signals heat in does
Pregnancy Diagnosis in Bovine
-
Objectives:
- Detect non-pregnant females to minimize infertility-related losses.
- Differentiate between pregnancy and abnormal uterine conditions.
-
External Examination:
- Visual signs: cessation of oestrous cycle, sluggish behavior, weight gain
- Milk yield drops post-5 months of pregnancy, abdominal enlargement, mammary gland growth begins around 5 months.
-
Per-Rectal Examination:
- First month: Uterine horns symmetrical, closed cervix, ovulation detected by corpus luteum.
- Second month: Uterus palpable, larger size noticeable.
- Third month: Uterus hangs and is palpable from three sides, with thinning walls.
- Fourth month: Abdominal uterus, presence of cotyledons, fluctuating consistency is detectable.
