Abstract

A total number of 80 postpartum anestrus crossbred Frieswal crossbred cows were evaluated for body condition score (BCS). The moderate (2–2.5); good (3–3.5) and fat (4–4.5) BCS were 10.00, 82.50 and 7.50 per cent, respectively in Military Dairy farm, Hyderabad. The serum calcium, phosphorus, cholesterol and glucose profile in cyclic vs. postpartum anestrus cows were 14.53 vs.9.78; 7.88 vs.6.20; 140.58 vs.94.35 and 70.25 vs.52.25, respectively. The serum biochemical profiles were significantly lower in postpartum anestrus cows.
