Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Context: The retained placenta (RP) is a significant cause of maternal mortality and morbidity throughout the developing country. Objectives: The aim of the present study was determine the effect of some prophylactic drugs on retained placenta of 100 Holstein Friesian Crossbred Cows at late stage of pregnancy or just after parturition. Materials and Methods: Cows were selected from 50 dairy farms in Bangladesh during June, 2010 to June 2011 that was nearly same housing, management. The cows included in this study aged between 3-7 years. The prophylactic measure applied with the history of delivery was treated according to the following schedule: Group I (n=20) Oxin® (oxitocin synth. 10 iu/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group II (n=20) Metherspan® (methyleargometrine meleate .0200 mg/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group III (n=20) Dinoprost® (dinoprost as trometamol 5 mg/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group IV (n=20) Utoklin® (herbal patent drugs) @ 450 ml/ cow (orally); Group V (n=20) placenta expelled spontaneously within 6 to 12 hours (control). The computer package SPSS/PC+ program and logistic regression model used for analyzed the study. Results: The highest and lowest incidence of RP recorded at >7years aged and 3 years to <5 years aged cows, respectively. The average incidence of retained placenta was 18% and RP according to prophylactic treatment were 20%, 15%, 10%, 15% and 30% in oxin, metherspan, dinoprost, utoklin and control group, respectively. All the logistic regression coefficients among prophylactic measure were found to be positive and statistically insignificant except dinoprost (P<0.05) and metherspan (P<0.01). The odds ratios of oxitocin, metherspan, dinoprost and herbal patent drugs (utoklin) were 2.154, 3.051, 11.846 and 2.154, respectively where control group was the reference category. Conclusion: Immediate therapeutic approach after delivery will reduce the chance of retained placenta.

Objectives:

The objectives of the present study were: Investigation of the effect of prophylactic drugs at various age groups of dairy cows on retained placenta. Identification of effective drugs that prevent retained placenta of Holstein Friesian crossbred dairy cows.

Methodology:

The study was conducted for the prophylactic treatment measure that reduces the Retained Placenta. Cows were selected from 50 dairy farms in Bangladesh during June 2010 to June 2011 that was nearly same housing and management. Total 100 Holstein- Friesian crossbred pregnant cows chosen from 50 dairy farms which aged between 3-10 years and calved 1-7 times. The prophylactic measure applied just after delivery of calf was treated according to the following schedule: Group I (n=20) Oxin® (oxitocin synth. 10 iu/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group II (n=20) Metherspan® (methyleargometrine meleate .0200 mg/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group III (n=20) Dinoprost® (PGF2α contain dinoprost as trometamol 5 mg/ml) @ 5 ml/ cow (i.m.); Group IV (n=20) Utoklin® (herbal patent drugs) @ 450 ml/ cow (orally); Group V (n=20) placenta expelled spontaneously within 6 to 12 hours (control). All information of importance was recorded carefully in special cards prepared for this purpose. Cows with RP were divided into subgroups based on age Group 1: < 3years aged, Group 2: 3years to <5 years, Group 3: 5years to <7 years, Group 4: >7years type. Statistical analysis The collected data were compiled and tabulated in proper form for statistical analysis. Calculation of incidence for each of parameter and Student’s t test were done using computer package SPSS/PC+ program and logistic regression analysis for prophylactic treatment of Holstein Friesian crossbred dairy cows.

Achievement/Findings:

Prostaglandin such as PGF2α (Dinoprost) is best effect than Methyl ergometrine maleate (Metherspan) after that oxytocin (oxin) and patent herbal medicine (uteoklin) have similar effect when compared with control group of experimental cows. Higher incidence of RP was observed in > 7years than <3years than that of other aged group of cows. These incidences indicated the RP in Holstein Friesian crossbred cows is a significant characteristic that require further study to find out the proper solution to reasons.
