Development of an Endocrine Profiles Based Mathematical Model for the Estrous Cycle in Indian Crossbred CowsDevelopment of an Endocrine Profiles Based Mathematical Model for the Estrous Cycle in Indian Crossbred CowsBy M Mondal, M Karunakaran, MK Ghosh, TK Dutta
Abstract: Declined fertility of the high-yielding dairy cows reared under intensive condition of management is of great concern not only for India but for the whole world. The bovine estrous cycle, particularly the estrus, is tightly controlled by the complex interplay of various organs and hormones. Mathematical modeling of the bovine estrous cycle could help in understanding the dynamics of this complex biological system. The authors, therefore, developed a mechanistic mathematical …

Kisspeptin Modulates Reproduction in RuminantsBy M Mondal, KK Baruah, MK Ghosh, M Karunakaran, TK Dutta
Abstract: AbstractKisspeptin, a neuropeptide encoded by the KiSS1 gene and its cognate, KiSS1R are the key regulators of reproduction in animals. Kisspeptin, also known as metastin, is a potent secretagogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the GnRH neurons in the brain and generates pulses for GnRH thereby its secretion and release, and this in turn stimulates the release of LH and FSH. Owing to its importance in reproductive biology, the …

Application of Nutrigenomics for Enhancement of Body Growth in RuminantsBy M Mondal, MK Ghosh
Abstract: the same diet may perform differently and it is due to differences in ability of nutrients to interact within the biological systems affecting molecular pathways resulting in differences in body weight gain, production or reproduction performances. For better understanding of the above processes, nutrigenomics and endocrinomics; two emerging fields that are of great help to discover the differential expression and function of genes occur with different diets, have come up. …

Use of Area Specific Mineral Mixture to Ameliorate Region Specific Reproductive Problems in RuminantsBy MK Ghosh, M Mondal, Rakesh Kumar Verma, Nirmala Muwel
Abstract: Reproductive inefficiency in ruminant cows is one of the most important global problems affecting the profitability of the farm. Some trace minerals like Ca, P, Cu, Zn, Co and Mn have important roles to maximise reproductive performances. Even marginal deficiency of these minerals can impair reproduction showing clinical signs of deficiency. Effects of mineral deficiency and metabolic disorders in all categories of dairy animals have been observed due to lower …

Development of a New Kisspeptin Based Method of Ovulation Synchronization for Crossbred Dairy HeifersBy M Mondal, KK Baruah, M Karunakaran, MK Ghosh, TK Dutta
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to develop a new method of synchronization of estrus/ovulation for crossbred cows based on kisspeptin, a potent secretagogue of GnRH. For the purpose, a total of 108 estrous cycles were studied in cyclic heifers. The animals divided equally in to two groups were treated either with ovsynch protocol of estrus synchronization (group-I; GnRH: day 0; PGF2α: day 7 and GnRH: day 9) or …
