Abstract

On the day of induced estrus, jugular vein blood samples were collected from healthy repeat breeder cattle
(n=45) for the estimation of haemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol and total protein, followed by pregnancy diagnosis
on day 45 post-insemination. There was no difference (p<0.05) in haemoglobin, plasma cholesterol and plasma
total protein in animals showing weak, intermediate or intense estrus, however, plasma glucose was high (p<0.05)
in animals exhibiting intense estrus compared to their counterparts exhibiting intermediate estrus. Between
pregnant and non-pregnant counterparts, plasma total protein was high (p<0.05) on the day of induced estrus in
the former, whereas other blood/plasma parameters were similar (p>0.05). In brief, plasma biochemical profile
of repeat breeder cattle on the day of estrus could play a role in exhibition of estrus and subsequent pregnancy
outcome.
