Biochemical Changes in the Uterine Flushings of Repeat-Breeder Buffaloes
Abstract: THIS STUDY was conducted to determine some biochemical alterations of uterine flushings in relation to uterine condition. For this reason, uterine flushings from 50 repeat-breeder buffalo-cows and 10 apparently normal buffalo-cows (control) were collected via Foley's balloon catheter using 40 ml sterile normal saline. Total protein concentration (T.P.), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) activities of the collected uterine flushings were determined. The mean values of T.P., ALP, LDH, AST and ALT of uterine flushings collected from repeat-breeder buffalo-cows were significantly higher than those of apparently normal buffalo-cows. This study indicates that the biochemical alterations (total protein and enzymatic activities) of uterine flushings can be used for diagnosis of endometritis along with microbiological isolations
