In: Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal 2013.v.59(137)Summary: This study was carried out in a private dairy farm at Kaliobeia Governorate to investigate the relationship between preparturient hormonal and biochemical changes in pregnant buffaloes and buffaloes with retained placenta (RP). A total of 32 pregnant buffaloes used in this study, blood samples were collected at late stage of pregnancy (two week, week before calving and after parturition). Preparturient biochemical examination revealed that 25 animals were around normal levels, while blood picture of seven animals revealed anemia with leucocytosis, lymphopenia and monocytosis associated with oxidative stress as shown by obvious increase in nitric oxide (NO), lipid peroxidase (LPO) and decrease ofcatalase (CAT), superoxidase dismutase (SOD) ascorbic acid (ASCA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) values. In addition there were a significant decrease in level of selenium (Se), vitamin E with low zinc (Z), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) concentration. Hormonal changes showed that increase level of progesteron, cortisol while decrease in estradiol-17B.Regular flow up of these animals post parturient revealed that animals considered RP (1-3 days) post calving were subjected to manual removal of there placentae.
