The present study evaluated the efficacy, lactation response, certain attributes of the milk induced and plasma alongwith reproductive changes periodically from day 5 to 75 using a 13 day protocol (day of first injection as day 1) of diethylstilbestrol, hydroxyprogesterone caproate and dexamethasone. A total of 22 non-lactating and infertile/sterile Jersey crossbred cows (G1=19, in goshalas; G2=3, with individual farmers) were used. In addition, normal postpartum cows (C=5) were also used to compare normal and induced milk. The overall efficacy of the protocol was 31.8% (21% in G1; 100% in G2). The milk yield at all recordings (five) was significantly higher in G2 than G1, the average being 1.0 and 3.6 L/d, respectively. Except for low milk Ca, especially in G1, comparable Na, K and Mg, declining estrogen and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) by day 30-35 and normal specific gravity and fat percentage at different evaluation intervals (two to six) in the induced milk suggested it to be safe for consumption after one month of induction. There was a significant correlation in Ca and Mg concentrations between blood versus milk as well as with increase in milk quantity at different days of lactation in the induced cows. Further, 2 of the 3 G2 chronic repeat breeder cows became pregnant. Higher BCS in G2 versus G1 (3.3 ± 0.1 versus 2.7 ± 0.14) was the probable reason for superior efficacy, better lactation response and setting up of pregnancy in G2.Keywords

Survey carried out at two locations under low and mid hills of Himachal Pradesh revealed that Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) infestation in tomato was high at Sundernagar under both protected as well as field conditions compared to Palampur region. The per cent leaf infestation and fruit damage varied from 8.73 (open conditions) to 45.70 per cent (protected conditions) and 4.40 (open conditions) to 21.94 per cent (protected conditions), respectively, at the two locations. The leaf infestation (%) and live mines had positive and significant correlation with minimum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Fruit infestation had a positive and significant correlation with maximum relative humidity and rainfall. Trap catches under open field conditions showed negative non-significant correlation with minimum, maximum temperature, maximum relative humidity and rainfall. The adult trap catch under protected conditions, however, showed a significant positive correlation with live mines and blotches at Palampur.

Arare case of hydrallantois in a goat was presented in Teaching Veterinary Clinical complex with the history of full term pregnancy. Animal was in second lactation with the history of normal parturition in previous kidding. Animal having symptoms of anorexia, respiratory distress, bilaterally distended abdomen, reluctance to stand and move was reported. Animal was showing the signs of straining for 6-7 hours. One non-viable fetus was removed by caesarean section.Keywords
