Abstract

Thirty healthy and normal Surti buffaloes of research farm were selected and put into three groups after parturition
based on their placental expulsion time; Group-I -less than 5 hr: Group-II - 8 to IO hr and Group-Ill - more than 12 hr. Blaod
samples were collected from jugular vein, starting immediately after parturition till complete expulsion of placenta at an interval
ofone hour. Average concentration of Protein in three groups was 7.83, 9.05 and 9.66 gm/I 00ml, respectively. Whereas, average
concentration for total and free cholesterol was 133.18, 150.90 and 154.15 and 7.19, 9.77 and 9.82 mg/I 00ml, respectively.
Disturbed Ca: P ratio because of significantly lower level of phosphorus; may be one of the factor in delayed placental expulsion
in buffaloes.
