Sahiwal cattle

The present investigation was conducted at the Bull Mother Experimental Farm, College of Veterinary Science & A.H., Anjora, Durg. Age group of Sahiwal cattle 0 to 6 and 6 to 12 months, the days required for appearance of white hairs was relatively lesser (43.33±1.20 and 42.8±4.93 days) at 7 and 8 seconds, respectively for copper metal during freeze branding. In 12 – 18 months of age group, minimum days (49.8±7.15) required for appearance of white hairs were seen at 18 seconds of exposure time using stainless steel metal.

Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) is one of the important molecular chaperon that can protect cells from thermal damage by involving in the maintenance of the intra cellular homeostasis primarily by controlling the process of protein folding. The indigenous breeds of cattle have been found to be more resistant to heat stress in comparison to the exotic breeds by way of expressing HSP70 as an adaptive response.

Selecting animals for lifetime traits by predicting them based on first lactation traits is a useful method for economic dairy farming. This study was conducted to analyze the prediction performance of various models for prediction of lifetime performance in Sahiwal cattle. The first lactation and lifetime traits were generated from the data on milk production and fertility traits of Sahiwal cattle maintained at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India.

The physiological responses, dry matter and water intake of Sahiwal and Karan Fries (Holstein-Friesian X Tharparkar) heifers were monitored under two feeding regimes i.e. feeding regime-1 (NRC, 2001) and feeding regime-2 (15 % higher energy than NRC 2001, by supplementation of molasses). Six each of healthy heifers of Sahiwal and Karan Fries (18-24 month) were selected from ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI), Karnal. Before start of actual experiment, the animals were given 15 days adaptation period on both the feeding regime.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin E and Chromium propionate during transition period in Sahiwal cows to assess the possibilities of improvement in production performance of supplementation of vitamin E and Chromium propionate. A total of 28 cows were selected on the basis of their milk yield, parity and body weight are grouped into four homogenous treatment groups of 7 each. No significant effect of supplementation was seen on milk composition.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of probiotic and synbiotic supplementation on production performance of lactating Sahiwal cattle in arid region of Rajasthan. Eighteen apparently healthy Sahiwal cows in their second month of lactation were randomly assigned to three groups. One group acted as control and was given basal diet only and the cows in other two groups were supplemented with probiotic and synbiotic at the dose of 15g/animal/day and 10g/animal/day, for three months.

Designing of effective conservation policy necessitates a clear understanding of the socio-economic factors that leads to the adoption of a particular cattle breed by the dairy farmers. The present study uses descriptive statistics and discriminant analysis to identify the socioeconomic determinants of breed choice with specific reference to Sahiwal breed.Prominent breeding tract of Sahiwal in India was purposively selected as the study area and required primary data was collected from 168 dairy farmers comprising 84 Sahiwal rearing farmers and 84 crossbred rearing farmers.

The present communication reports a case of Sahiwal cattle bull which was presented with the chief complaint of infertility for last six months. Semen analysis performed on periodic ejaculates revealed watery consistency along with oligospermia. Critical examination using ultrasonography was suggestive of bilateral testicular fibrosis as the chief etiology of infertility. The animal was found unfit for breeding and it’s culling from the routine breeding programs was advised.

Milk has been regarded as wholesome food since centuries. The major milk proteins are the casein (80%) and the whey proteins (10%). One of the prominent milk proteins in cattle i.e. beta casein, is encoded by highly polymorphic genes, leading to formation of 12 protein variants. Among them A1 and A2 variant are the most frequent; the A2 being the primitive type present in Bos indicus at higher percentage than Bos taurus.
