Beta-Carotene in Prevention of Cow’s Obstetric- Gynecological Diseases

Abstract

The intensification of the livestock industry is the decisive role of healthy reproduction. The aim of this study was to use "Carofertin" for the preventive purpose of obstetric pathology in high-productive cows (every 10 days) and compare with the action of vitamin A. Prophylactic effectiveness of "Carofertin" was defined for prevention of obstetric pathology of high-productive cows whose were predisposed to diseases of parturient (the incidence of retention placenta: 21.7±0.4%, 43.5±0.41%, 65.2±0.38% (P<0.01)) and postnatal periods too. The incidence of uterus subinvolution was 13.0±0.34% in the first group, 43.48±0.5% in the second group and 56.5±0.49% in the third group (P<0.001). The incidence of acute puerperal endometritis was 26.0±0.44% in the first group, 34.78±0.49% in the second group and 52.0±0.49% in the third group (P<0.001). We used biochemical and clinical analysis of blood samples to assess the impact of the drug on the functional metabolism and general methods of clinical examination (including rectal and vaginal examination) for control over the parturition and puerperal period. It is important to study the problems of obstetric pathology in cows especially during the late stall period and to improve preventive measures.

Beta-Karotenin İneklerde Obsterik-Jinekolojik Hastalıklara Karşı Koruması

Abstract

Sağlıklı üremenin hayvancılığın entansifleşmesinde önemli bir rolü bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı yüksek döl verimli ineklerde obsterik hastalıklara karşı korumada A vitamininin etkisi ile karşılaştırmalı olarak “Carofertin”in kullanılmasıdır (her 10 günde). “Carofertin”in koruyucu etkisi, patruient hastalığına (plasenta retensiyonu) karşı predispoze olan yüksek döl verimli ineklerin doğum patolojisinden ve doğum sonrasında da korunması olarak %21,7±0,4, %43,5±0,41, %65,2±0,38 (P<0,01) tanımlanmaktadır. Uterus subenvolusyon yüzdeleri birinci grupta %13,0±0,34, ikinci grupta %43,48±0,5 ve üçüncü grupta %56,5±0,49 olarak saptanmıştır (P<0,001). Akut puerperal endometritis yüzdeleri birinci grupta %26,0±0,44, ikinci grupta %34,78±0,49 ve üçüncü grupta %52,0±0,49 olarak saptanmıştır (P<0,001). Doğum ve puerperal periodu kontrol edebilmek için, ilacın fonksiyonel metabolizma üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek üzere kan örneklerinin biyokimyasal ve klinik analizleri ile klinik muayenenin temel metotları (rektal ve vajinal muayeneler dahil) kullanılmıştır. İneklerde özellikle geç dönemde doğumla ilgili patolojik problemlerin üzerinde çalışılması ve koruyucu ölçümlerin geliştirilmesi önemlidir.
