A total of 52 buffalo cows suffering from uterine torsion were divided into seven groups. Each animal in the group was subjected to diagnosis depending upon clinical signs, rectal, vaginal, and ultrasonographic examination then subjected to one of the formulated therapeutic regimes. Cervimetry, state of fetal livability, parturition easiness, placental dropping time, and uterine health with each specific treatment were recorded. Results: groups injected with denaverine hydrochloride, denaverine hydrochloride potentiated with methylergometrine showed rapid cervical dilatation rate (3.1±0.26cm and 3.2±0.19cm, respectively). Moreover, had an extending effect, where an efficient cervimetry rate (17±0.52 cm and16±0.46cm, respectively) was achieved after 24hrs from starting the treatment. Denaverine hydrochloride, denaverine hydrochloride potentiated with methylergometrine and cloprostenol sodium plus methylergometrine showed the unique parturition process that took place with no maneuverers (2.1±0.26, 1.8±0.22 and 2.1±0.55); with preserved fetal viability (100, 88.8 and 85.7 %) and uterine health (85.7, 88.8 and 85.7%). While methylergometrine alone was an inefficient therapeutic protocol that didn’t assisted the process of normal delivery (3.2±0.17) and increases the rate of fetal deaths (50%). Denaverine hydrochloride, denaverine hydrochloride potentiated with methylergometrine and cloprostenol plus methylergometrine treated groups showed significantly the shortest placental dropping time (9.4±1.2, 10±1.1, and 10±0.67hrs, respectively), while methylergometrine and misoprostol recorded the longest placental dropping time (13±0.49 and 13±0.37hrs, respectively). In conclusion, this study was considered the first attempt that follows the degree of cervimetry after uterine torsion correction. Denaverine hydrochloride plus methergin is an efficient treatment regime that improved the reproductive health of buffalo cows after uterine torsion correction. The cervical dilatation rate starting from 13.00 -14.00 cm was an articulated size at which the process of eutocia can start in buffalo cows. The maximum achieved mean of the internal cervical luminal diameter for buffalo cow after detorsion was 17±0.52cm, this diameter assisted the delivery process with little maneuverers. |
