The present study was conducted on 30 Swamp buffalo cows maintained at Network Project on Buffalo improvement (Swamp), College of Veterinary Science, Assam Agricultural University, Khanapara, Guwahati, Assam from September 2016 to March 2017 to accumulate data on parturition behavior. Parturition behavior was studied based on direct observations on 30 parturient cows. Restlessness, reduced interest in food and water, lying down and getting up, abdominal straining with arching of the back and frequent urination were the behavioral signs exhibited by all Swamp buffalo cows at first stage of parturition, which continued in the second stage. Licking of the newborn and interest in food and water were exhibited by all cows at the third stage of parturition. Total time required for expulsion of the fetus was 29.00 ± 4.06 min. Lochial discharge was free-flowing in quantity and dark yellow in color and ceased from 9 days of parturition. The weight of placenta and the total number of cotyledons in Swamp buffalo averaged 4.20 ± 0.10 kg and 111.60 ± 2.77, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
