 PREFACE

This book has been written for the purpose to cover the practical and
clinical aspects of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics. The author
has tried to prepare this book in a unique manner. The matter has
been presented in a very simple language and lucrative manner so
that one can read this bqok in one breath. In many books, very
exhaustive and huge informations are given but these are very boring
task to read for undergraduate students and clinicians. The aim of
the book is to tell a scientific and technically sound precise story'instead
of presenting a data base encyclopaedia on the subject. Therefore the
materials has been arranged accordingly and the supplementary
informations or more detailed explanations are given in the boxes
which can be consulted at once or return to after the principal points
have been grasped. For increasing the interest and to give the
information of new advances in the field of Veterinary Gynaecology,
the author has made his every possible effort. For this, 'Interesting
Facts', 'Clinical Pointers', ' Do you know?' 'Points to Remember' etc.
have been incorporated in the boxes in between the matter. My main
motto in compiling information in this book is to provide relevant
information in a simple and interesting way so that matter should
not appear difficult to understand by an average undergraduate
students. A number of illustrations and photographs have been
included to make each chapter meaningful. At the end of each chapter,
'observations' and' exercise' have been given which will help a clinician
in testing his/her acquired knowledge and a student in preparing for
examinations and viva-voce. It is hoped that this style of writing will
encourage the use of this book for the final year B.V.Sc & A.H.,
students and Veterinary clinicians.
This book also cover clinical cases of cattle and buffalo in an interesting
way with new concepts. Wherever it becomes necessary to point out
the old concepts of treatment, I did and highlighted the new concepts
of treatments. Thus this book gives an information about latest trend
of treatments and explain the disadvantages of adopting old trend of
treatments.
In this book, various interesting and clinically important chapters have
been included which are generally not given in the text books available
in the market. For example, pregnancy diagnosis in small ruminants
by 'recto-abdominal palpation', early pregnancy diagnosis in cattle
by 'milk ejection test' etc. These are very-very simple and reliable
techniques for diagnosis of pregnancy. Generally pregnancy diagnosis
vii
in small ruminants requires X-ray and ultrasound because only
abdominal palpation is not confirmatory diagnosis. However, use of
these sophisticated methods are not feasible in the field conditions,
whereas ' recto-abdominal palpation technique' gives 90-100 %
accuracy without use of any sophisticated instrument. Likewise the
author has tried to give as many such informations which can be
applied in Indian field conditions.
Therefore author thinks that this book is a readymade matter on
Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics for final year undergraduate
students of B.V.Sc. & A.H., field veterinarians and academicians. This
book is also useful for various competitive examinations and
interviews.
This book has been divided into three parts. In the part I from·chapter
1 to 17 are designed to help the final year students, beginners and
clinicians to understand the anatomy and physiology of reproduction,
gynaecological examinations and their applications to diagnose the
clinical problems.
In part II, chapters 18 to 28 emphasize the application of basic concepts
of obstetrical cases and their management. In this part, author has
tried to explain the basic principles of obstetrics, which are generally
over-looked in most of the books available in the market. For example
'how to apply rope on the legs and head of foetus', 'how to prevent
the inner wall of uterus and birth canal from the teeth and hooves of
the foetus', 'what should be the direction for traction of rope in
different stages' etc. Separate obstetrical cases, their incidences, causes
and treatments have not been discussed in detail. Foetotomy and
caesarean section have been described in detail.
In part III, chapters 29 to 46 have been devoted to the therapeutic
management of gynaecological problems. This part describes some
of the problems that are commonly encountered in the field. The aim
of WTiting this part is to at least provide a coherent overall therapy
guide, create a stimulus and direction for greater in-depth study on
particular chapter, and contribute a useful compilation of existing
practical therapeutic knowledge for the veterinary undergraduates,
clinicians and academicians. Antimicrobial agents are the most
frequently used and misused drugs in veterinary practice. A rational
approach to antimicrobial therapy entails choosing the proper drug
to be administered to the particular animals after considerations of
potential benefits and risks. Prerequisites to rational therapy include
a diagnosis, understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and

viii
pharmacology of the drug and the establishment of therapeutic
objectives. It is the purpose of this part to describe an approach to
rational treatment of infections, which cause infertility in cattle and
buffaloes. Part III also includes effect of homoeopathic medicines on
the female genital tract. Hahnemann (1814) advocated their use in
animals and so Veterinary Homoeopathy has a long tradition.
At the end of this book, 'Glossary' and' Appendix' have been given
which will help the veterinary graduates in preparing for various
competitive examinations, viva-voce examinations and interviews
because these have been collected and arranged in a very lucid manner.
The author encourages constructive comments and valuable
suggestions, addition, ~Iteration and correction for any typing error
for improving this book in the next edition.

inadequate to express my deep sense of indebtedness to Dr. G.P.
Roy, for instilling in me a spirit of hope, struggle, determination and
affection.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr. Jitendra
Kumar Singh for giving ideas to the use of homoeopathic drugs in
bovines.
I am extremely delighted in extending my than.ks to Dr. Rahul Arya,
Dr. Neeraj Srivastava, Dr. V.K. Bharti and Dr. Braj Bhushan
Bachchoo for their constant encouragement and helping in proof-
reading of the manuscript.
My friends and seniors Dr. Sanjay, Dr. Praveen, Dr. Shantanu, Dr.

Last but not the least, I thank the Almighty for blessing me with
indomitable will-power, courage, strength and stamina to accomplish
this arduous task.
