Publisher: 1983Dissertation note: The various species of ecto-parasites viz; ticks, lice, mites and warbles parasitizing cattle, sheep, goats and poultry in Northern Areas of Pakistan were recorded.
From cattle, Hyalomma aegyotium, hyalomma anatolicum, anatolicum Boophilus microplus, and hypoderma lineatum were recorded. Haematopinus eurysternus recorded from sheep and goats.
In sheep hyalomma aegyptium and melophagus ovinus were recorded. From goats hyalomma aegyptium and Hypoderma lineatum were recorded. Whereas, from poultry the ecto-parasites viz; Argas persicus recorded.
Out of the 100 cattle examined, 68 was found to be infested with one or more species of ecto-parasites, 32 were found to be infested with one or more species of ecto-parasites, 32 were found to be infested with ticks, 20 with lice and only two with larvae of warble flies. Similarly of the 100 sheep examined,only 16 were found to be infested with ticks and 13 with lice. Likewise, of the 100 goats examined, only 10 were found to be infested with ticks and 3 warbles. While out of the 100 birds examined, 20 were found to be infested with one or more types of the ecto-parasites, for instance 10 were found to be infested with ticks.
For the control of cattle ticks gammexane, tetmosol, ascabiol, gamatox, asuntol and neguvon were 86.10, 79.56, 61.73, 58.16, 52.33 percent effective after 24 hours and 100.0, 100.0, 52.04, 58.37, 77.00 and 68.69% effective after 30 days of the application of insecticides. For the control of sheep and goats ticks, the afore-mentioned insecticides. In the same order were 77.20, 82.23, 52.03, 68.17, 78.40 &57.26 percent effective after 24 hours at 100.0, 100.0, 36.90, 17.80, 43.53 and 15.66 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
While on the poultry, the same insecticides were 76.96, 65.20, 54.63, 82.33, 85.06, 78.86 percent after 24 hours and 100.00, 100.00, 22.27, 36.60, 42.14 and 63.67 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
For the control of lice on cattle 91.86,89.90,79.70,86.26,87.06,93.56 percent effective after 24 hours and 100.00, 10.0,75.70,85.57,93.24 and 85.67 percent effective after 30 days respectively after application of the insecticides.
The insecticides, Gammexane, Tetmosol, Asuntol and Neguvon were 88.00, 84.76, 96.26, 97.13 percent effective after 7th days and 78.73, 80.25, 100.00 and 100.0 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
For the effective control of ecto-parasites, the use of Gammexane, Tetmosol, Neguvon and Asuntol for the control of ticks mites and warbles in the animals is recommended.

Study On The Effect Of Various Floor Spaces On The Performance Of Broilers Kept In Cages
by Arshad Hussain, S | Muhammed Saleem Chaudry | Ehtisham Pervaiz | Mubasher.
Material type: ; Format:

; Literary form:
not fiction
Publisher: 1983Dissertation note: The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of various floor spaces on the performance of broilers kept in cages. One hundred and twenty day old (Indian River of Hybred Pakistan Ltd) chicks were reared for the experimental units of 36 birds each and were kept on 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot floor space per bird. They were fed on a commercial ration. The other conditions like temperature, humidity, light and ventilation were similar for all the groups.
The broilers at the end of 8th week, gained an average live weight of 2.023,2.054 and 2.063 kg with a feed conversion ratio of 2.45, 2.43 and 2.41 at densities of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot per bird respectively. No significant difference was observed on the three different floor spaces of 0.50,0.75 and 1.0 square foot per bird on cages for feed efficiency. The mean dressing percentage recorded were 64.3, 65.9 and 66.9 at 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq.foot of floor space respectively at the end of experiment. The differences in dressing percentage were also statistically non significant.
It is worth mentioning that no mortality was observed during whole of the experimental period.
Suggestions
At the end of experiment it was found that broilers can be reared in cages at a density of 0.5 sq. foot efficiently and economically up to the age of 8 weeks without any detrimental effect on the growth rate and feed conversion ratio. It is therefore recommended that the broilers should be kept at 0.5 sq. foot per bird in cages.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Of the 15 normal semen producing breeding bulls, five bulls from each of pure bred Sahiwal, Friesian and the cross-breds (Friesian X Sahiwal) of the same age group were selected. These bulls were maintained at Semen Production Unit, Qadirabad (Sahiwal) under similar conditions of housing, feeding and management. Two consecutive ejaculates once a week were collected. A total of 395 ejaculates were evaluated for various seminal characteristics, extended, processed and frozen during August, September and October, 1990. During these three months semen parameters like ejaculate volume, mass motility, percent motility and the doses produced per ejaculate declined with increase of ambient temperature and humidity.
The second ejaculate (195) at each collection and for each bull was always taken for studying the sperm morphology. Two slides from each semen sample were prepared in 10% solution of Nigrosin stain. A total of 200 sperm cells were counted in each slide and average values for various morphological abnormalities of spermatozoa in each breed were studied. The sperm cell abnormalities were accounted for head (abnormal, detached), neck (poor attachment, abaxial attachment and fractured neck), thickened mid-piece, protoplasmic droplet (proximal, distal droplet) and tail (detached, coiled- tail-droplet-enclosed, coiled tail).
The mean values of different breeds so obtained for different abnormalities during various months were analysed. The average values for head abnormalities for three breeds were 9.69 ± 1.88, 5.12 ± 060 and 1.56 ± 0.14% in Friesian, cross-bred and Sahiwal, respectively. These abnormalities were highest during August and September in Friesian bulls and lowest in Sahiwal bulls during October.
The neck abnormalities were highest in cross-breds (4.44 ± 0.57%) and lowest in Sahiwal (1.67 ± 0.14%). However, the neck abnormalities were statistically similar during the months of August, September and October. Similar trend of mid-piece abnormality was observed between various breeds and months. Likewise the values of protoplasmic droplets were highest in cross breds (14.12 ± 1.19%) and lowest in Sahiwal (2.36 ± 0.30%). The tail abnormalities were the highest in cross-breds (3.47 ± 0.45%) and lowest in Sahiwal (0.87 ± 0.12%). Among various months the tail abnormalities, were statistically similar (P> 0.05).
The total values of different sperm abnormalities wçre highest in cross-breds during August (30.93 ± 3.11%) and comparatively lower during September and October (28.66 ± 2.28 and 26.11 ± 2.63%), respectively.
Except head abnormalities, all the other abnormalities of spermatozoa were statistically significant among breeds.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: The study was carried out at Livestock Production Research Institute, Bahadarnagar, District Okara.
320 blood serum samples in duplicate from 64 female buffalo calves were chemically analysed for Calcium, Phosphorus, Copper, Zinc and Manganese.
These animals were divided into four groups and each group was further sub divided into two sub groups respectively. Eight animals were placed in each sub group. Sub groups of first group consisted of 5th and 6th, sub groups of second group 7th and 8th, sub groups of third group 9th and 10th, and sub groups of fourth group 11th and 12th quarters of their age respectively.
These animals were put on same plan of nutrition for thirty days before starting the experiment.
20 ml., blood was drawn aseptically from the jugular vein. The blood was allowed to coagulate and serum was separated for analysis. Inorganic phosphorus and copper were analysed in the blood serum by the Merko test kits, Calcium by flame photometer, Zinc and Manganese by atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
Biometry and ovarian activity of the third and fourth groups were recorded.
Non significant (P>O.05) difference was observed for calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc in all the groups while significant (9<0.05) difference was existed for manganese in the groups.
significant correlation (r = 0.72* P <0.05) was observed for phosphorus with the size of the graafian follicle while correlation ( r = 0.62, r = 0.40 r=0.58 and r= 0.57 9>0.05) for calcium, copper, zinc and manganese was negative respectively.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Late puberty is the major factor in buffalo heifers leading to low reproductive efficiency resulting in economic losses. Very little information was available about the reproductive potential based on quantitative investigation of primordial follicles and their relation with the ovarian size and weight which directly affects the attainment of puberty.
The present study was designed to determine the number of primordial follicles in non - cycling 3 - 4 years buffalo heifers and results were based on the specific selection of the animals after confirmation of age by dentition, general physical examination, the reproductive status after slaughter. This was achieved by the collection of 12 samples (ovaries) from six animals, two animals belonging to each age group of 3 years, 3 1/2 years and 4 years.
In the heifer Al, the right ovary was more round in shape than left but somewhat softer in consistency than the left ovary. In the heifer A2, the left ovary was somewhat flattened than right ovary which was firmer in consistency than the left ovary and surface was nodular in both ovaries. In the heifer Bi the left ovary was less oval than the right one but was harder in consistency than right ovary. In the heifer B2 the left ovary was more oval in shape than right and somewhat nodular and softer in consistency than right ovary. In the heifer Cl, the left ovary was oval and right elliptical in shape having smooth surface throughout while the right ovary was harder in consistency than left one. In the heifer C2, both ovaries were almost similar in shape which were more oval almost round and right ovary was quite hard and its palpation was almost impossible.
The average weights of ovaries in two non cycling buffalo heifers of Group A (3 years) were 3.30 ± 0.50 gm for the left and 3.90 ± 0.10 gm for the right ovaries (Table 3). The average weights of ovaries in two non cycling buffalo heifers of Group B (3 1/2 years) were 2.70 ± 0.30 gm for the left and 2.90 ± 0.30 gm for the right ovaries (Table 3). The average weights of ovaries in two non cycling buffalo heifers of Group C (4 years) were 2.40 ± 0.40 gm for the left and 2.70 ± 0.70 gm for the right ovaries (Table 3).
The average size of the ovaries of Group A heifers (3 years) was 2.61 ± 0.53 cm x 1.64 ± 0.40 cm x 1.53 ± 0.13 cm in length, width and thickness respectively for the left ovaries and same for the right ovaries was 2.61 ± 0.35 cm x 1.88 ± 0.10 cm x 1.65 ± 0.01 cm (Table 5). The average size of the ovaries of Group B heifers (3 1/2 years) was 2.39 ± 0.13 cm x 1.58 ± 0.10 cm x 1.31 ± 0.13 cm in length, width and thickness respectively for the left ovaries and same for the right ovaries was 2.39 ± 0.05 cm x 1.55 ± 0.21 cm x 1.34 ± 0.09 cm (Table 6). The average size of the ovaries of Group C heifers (4 years) was 2.18 ± 0.08 cm x 1.41 0.16 cm x 1.35 ± 0.0cm in length, width and thickness respectively for the left ovaries and same for the right ovaries was 2.56 ± 0.50 cm x 1.48 ± 0.16 cm x 1.26 + 0.02 cm (Table 7). The mean volume i.e. length x width x thickness for the left and right ovaries of the heifers belonging to Group A was 6.39 ± 0.66 cm3 and 8.05 ± 0.71 cm3 respectively and the same for the heifers belonging to Group B was 5.03 ± 1.08 cm3 and 4.99 ± 0.90 cm3 respectively and for the heifers belonging to Group C was 4.18 ± 0.63 cm3 and 4.86 ± 1.38 cm3 respectively.
The average number of primordial follicles for the left ovaries was 22108 ± 1099 and the same for the right ovaries was 22920 ± 106 in the heifers belonging to Group A (Table 25). The average number of primordial follicles for the left ovaries was 21105 ± 1304 and the same for the right ovaries was 21956 ± 1835 in the heifers belonging to Group B (Table 26). The average number of primordial follicles for the left ovaries was 1620 ± 282 and the same for the right ovaries was 1231 ± 53 in the heifers belonging to Group C (Table 27). In the ovaries of heifers belonging to Group A the mean diameter of the oocyte nuclei was 12.0 ± 1.15u, where as the same in the Group B and Group C were 11.04 ± 1.05u and 11.00 ± 0.02u respectively. The total number of growing follicles in both left and right ovaries of the heifer Al was 123 and the same number of the heifer A2 was 175 with an average of 149 ±26 in both the ovaries of heifers Al and A2 belonging to Group A (Table 28).
The total number of growing follicles in both left and right ovaries of the heifer Bi was 128 and the same of the heifer B2 was 152 with an average of 140 ± 12 in both the ovaries of heifer Bi and B2 belonging to Group B (Table 28). The total number of growing follicles in both left and right ovaries of the heifer Cl was 47 and the same of the heifer C2 was 15 with an average of 31 ± 16 in both the ovaries of heifers C1 and C2 belonging to Group C (Table 28).
The number of primordial follicles was counted per ovary and compared with the relative size and weight of ovary and age of the heifer a poitive corelation was found to be existed between ovarian size/weight and primordial follicle number perovary of heirfers of three age groups and hence the possible factors responsible for culling or selection of such animals were observed for the improvement of buffalo dairy herd.
CONCLUSION and SUGGESTIONS
It is concluded from the results of present study that the ovarian weight and size have a significant effect On the number of primordial follicles since the weight cannot be assessed through rectal palpation and when the average ovarian weight and size were analyzed statistically a +ve correlation of 0.94 was found between these two factors. Hence it is concluded that the normal ovarian weight can he compared with the normal ovarian size while performing the examination of genitalium per rectum and hence by measuring the ovarian size per recturm in heifers its reproductive potential i.e. the number of primordial follicles per ovary can be estimated which would he helpful in selecting or culling virgin buffalo heifers who have not attained puberty. While performing the specific genital examination it is suggested that the following parameters must he considered.
1) The age of heifer for selection must he upto 3 1/2 years.
2) Per rectal examination it must he confirmed that the genitalium has no any segmental aplasia.
3) The ovaries must he oval in shape with somewhat nodular surface, soft, flexible consistency.
4) The ovarian size must he 2.61 + 0.53 x 1.64 ± 0.40 x 1.52 ± 0.12 cm for the left ovaries and 2.61 ± 0.35 x 1.88 ± 0.10 x 1.65 ± 0.01 cm for the right ovaries in length, width and thickness respectively.
5) The ovaries must never have any tumour which can he differentiated from the developing functional structure i. e. follicles and corpus luteum and if the ovarian tumour are confused with functional structures then these animals may he kept under observation for 21 days to find any developmental stage of functional structure.
6) Probably the heifers approaching puberty or in some cycling stage may have 3 - 8 transverse wrinkles upon their external vaginal lips.
It is anticipated that these conclusions and suggestions will serve a useful purpose in selecting or culling those buffalo heifers which have not attained puberty till 3 to 4 years of age and hence will be helpful to make necessary improvements in buffalo dairy herds.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: The most important aspect of spermatozoa preservation in frozen state is the type of extender used. The selection of suitable extender is based on evaluation of fresh, diluted and frozen semen through several parameters.
In this study, buffalo bull, semen, extended in different extenders was evaluated for sperm motility percentage, progressive sperm motility (0-5) Live spermatozoa percentage and total sperm abnormalities percentage. For this purpose semen was collected from four Nili-Ravi Buffalo bulls and evaluated by using various tests for different physical parameters. Semen was extended in ratio of 1:10, using four extenders for freezing namely, Egg-yolk-Tes-Tris, Egg-yolk-citrate-taurine, Lactose-fructose yolkglycerol and Egg-yolk-Egg--yolk"Salts". Sperm concentration was 20 million per dose. One step extension of semen was done. Straw (0.5 ml) were used for packaging and freezing of semen. Freezing was carrid out by holding the straws at a level of 4 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen for seven minutes. Frozen straws were stored in liquid nitrogen less than one hour (0 hour) and for 7 days. The various parameters were observed in fresh semen, after extension, just after freezing and after storage (7 days). Thawing of frozen was done at 37°C for 13 seconds.
Highly-significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in motility percent after dilution, equilibration, post-thaw sperm motility and freezing (0 hr) and storage (7 days). Average post-thaw motility was 43.10 ± 0.31, 40.35 ± 0.24, 38.53 ± 0.13 and 36.09 ± 0.20 in Ey-Test, EY-cit-tau, LFYG and EY-EY"Salts" respectively.
The statistical analysis revealed significant difference (P<0.01) in live- dead spermatozoa percentage, total morphological abnormalities due extender and freezing stages.
The non-significant difference (P<0.05) was observed in the progressive sperm motility grades due to stages of freezing and extender.
While considering the results, the extender Ey-Test, EY-cit-tati, LFYG found superior than EY-EY-"Salts" but maintaining high motility percentage of spermatozoa alongwith the minimal alteration of other seminal attributes before and after freezing and it can be used satisfactorily for the preservation of buffalo semen at -196°C.

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: A total of 32 Nili-Ravi cyclic buffaloes were selected for this study. Cyclicity was determined on the basis of presence of corpus luteum and was confirmed by luteal phase levels of progesterone. 10 animals were treated with PGF2-alpha to induce oestrus. The oestrus detection was made by teasing, behavioural symptoins, physical changes and rectal palpation. The receptivity of male was taken as a time for start of oestrus. The ovulation time was determined by repeated palpation and was confirmed by blood progesterone levels. The behavioural signs noted were; acceptance of teaser bull, frequent urination, raised tail, bellowing, restlessness, acceptance of mounting by other females, licking of external genitalia of other animals and loss of appetite. The physical changes recorded were; uterine tone, swollen vulva, mucous discharge on rectal palpation, absence of wrinkles on vulvular lips, hypraemia and wetness in the vagina. There was a little difference in the behavioural symptoms and physical changes among the groups. In the PGF2-alpha treated group the behavioural symptoms and physical changes were slightly more pronounced as compared to natural groups.
The length of oestrus in the natural groups was 23.5 ± 1.5 hours, whereas it was 27.2 ± 2.4 hours in the treatment group. The difference in the length of oestrus among the two groups was statistically significant. The ovulation time in he natural group was 34.6 ± 1.7 hours from the start of oestrus and 11.2 ± 0.5 hours from the end of oestrus. The ovulation time in animals treated with prostaglandin F2-alpha was 39.8 ± 2.9 and 12.6 ± 1 .2 hours in relation to the start and the end of oestrus, respectively. The difference in the ovulation time both in relation to the start and to the end of oestrus between the two groups was significant. The progesterone Values at the time of oestrus were 0. 1 ± 0.02 ng/ml and 0. 1 ± 0. 1 ng/ml in natural and treated groups respectively. And in the luteal phase (13), the progesterone values were 2.1 ± 0.2 and 2.6 ± 1.6 ng/ml in natural and treated groups respectively.

; Nature of contents: ; Literary form: Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: 1000 samples of ruminal fluid, 500 from each of the two experimental Nili-Ravi buffaloes, kept in Nutrition Section of College of Veterinary Science Lahore were examined for ruminal flora. One quarter of sample 1rom each animal were used for the isolation of proteolytic, amylolytic and lypolytic bacteria.
From these samples 617 species of bacteria were Isolated and identified on the basis of morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristic. Number of species of different bacteria isolated were Streotococcus bovis 229 (109 from tiuffalne A and 120 from buffaloe B.), Selenomonas ruminantium 16 (9frorn buffaloe A and 7 from buffaloe B), Bacterolde amylophilus 83 (28 from buffaloe A and 55 from buffaloe B); Bacteroides ruminicola 79 (36 from buffaloe A and 43 from buffaloe B), Anaerovibrio lvoolvtica 47 (19 from buffaloe A and 28 from buffaloe B), Bacteroides succiriopenes 59 (31 from buffaloe A and 28 from. buffaloe B), Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens 40 (25 front buffaloe from A and 15 from buffaloe B), and Ruminncoccus fjvifacieris 64 (26 from buffaloe A and 38 from buffaloe B).
It was observed that both the experimental buffaloes, maintained on the same diet, had a similar type of bacterial flora, the differences being in number only.
