The author; title: has tried to prepare this book in a unique manner. The matter has; title: been presented in a very simple language and lucrative manner so; title: that one can read this book in one breath. In many books, very; title: exhaustive and huge informations are given but these are very boring; title: task to read for undergraduate students and clinicians. The aim of; title: the book is to tell a scientific and technically sound precise story instead; title: of presenting a data base encyclopaedia on the subject. Therefore the; title: materials has been arranged accordingly and the supplementary; title: informations or more detailed explanations are given in the boxes; title: which can be consulted at once or return to after the principal points; title: have been grasped. For increasing the interest and to give the; title: information of new advances in the field of Veterinary Gynaecology,; title: the author has made his every possible effort. For this, ‘Interesting; title: Facts’, ‘Clinical Pointers’, ‘Do you know?’ ‘Points to Remember’ etc.; title: have been incorporated in the boxes in between the matter. My main; title: motto in compiling information in this book is to provide relevant; title: information in a simple and interesting way so that matter should; title: not appear difficult to understand by an average undergraduate; title: students. A number of illustrations and photographs have been; title: included to make each chapter meaningful. At the end of each chapter,; title: ‘observations’ and ‘exercise’ have been given which will help a clinician; title: in testing his/her acquired knowledge and a student in preparing for; title: examinations and viva-voce. It is hoped that this style of writing will; title: encourage the use of this book for the final year B.V.Sc & A.H.,; title: students and Veterinary clinicians.; title: This book also cover clinical cases of cattle and buffalo in an interesting; title: way with new concepts. Wherever it becomes necessary to point out; title: the old concepts of treatment, I did and highlighted the new concepts; title: of treatments. Thus this book gives an information about latest trend; title: of treatments and explain the disadvantages of adopting old trend of; title: treatments.; title: In this book, various interesting and clinically important chapters have; title: been included which are generally not given in the text books available; title: in the market. For example, pregnancy diagnosis in small ruminants; title: by ‘recto-abdominal palpation’, early pregnancy diagnosis in cattle; title: by ‘milk ejection test’ etc. These are very-very simple and reliable; title: techniques for diagnosis of pregnancy. Generally pregnancy diagnosis; title: viii; title: in small ruminants requires X-ray and ultrasound because only; title: abdominal palpation is not confirmatory diagnosis. However, use of; title: these sophisticated methods are not feasible in the field conditions,; title: whereas ‘recto-abdominal palpation technique’ gives 90-100 %; title: accuracy without use of any sophisticated instrument. Likewise the; title: author has tried to give as many such informations which can be; title: applied in Indian field conditions.; title: Therefore author thinks that this book is a readymade matter on; title: Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics for final year undergraduate; title: students of B.V.Sc. & A.H., field veterinarians and academicians. This; title: book is also useful for various competitive examinations and; title: interviews.; title: This book has been divided into three parts. In the part I from chapter; title: 1 to 17 are designed to help the final year students, beginners and; title: clinicians to understand the anatomy and physiology of reproduction,; title: gynaecological examinations and their applications to diagnose the; title: clinical problems.; title: In part II, chapters 18 to 28 emphasize the application of basic concepts; title: of obstetrical cases and their management. In this part, author has; title: tried to explain the basic principles of obstetrics, which are generally; title: over-looked in most of the books available in the market. For example; title: ‘how to apply rope on the legs and head of foetus’, ‘how to prevent; title: the inner wall of uterus and birth canal from the teeth and hooves of; title: the foetus’, ‘what should be the direction for traction of rope in; title: different stages’ etc. Separate obstetrical cases, their incidences, causes; title: and treatments have not been discussed in detail. Foetotomy and; title: caesarean section have been described in detail.; title: In part III, chapters 29 to 46 have been devoted to the therapeutic; title: management of gynaecological problems. This part describes some; title: of the problems that are commonly encountered in the field. The aim; title: of writing this part is to at least provide a coherent overall therapy; title: guide, create a stimulus and direction for greater in-depth study on; title: particular chapter, and contribute a useful compilation of existing; title: practical therapeutic knowledge for the veterinary undergraduates,; title: clinicians and academicians. Antimicrobial agents are the most; title: frequently used and misused drugs in veterinary practice. A rational; title: approach to antimicrobial therapy entails choosing the proper drug; title: to be administered to the particular animals after considerations of; title: potential benefits and risks. Prerequisites to rational therapy include; title: a diagnosis, understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and; title: ix; title: pharmacology of the drug and the establishment of therapeutic; title: objectives. It is the purpose of this part to describe an approach to; title: rational treatment of infections, which cause infertility in cattle and; title: buffaloes. Part III also includes effect of homoeopathic medicines on; title: the female genital tract. Hahnemann (1814) advocated their use in; title: animals and so Veterinary Homoeopathy has a long tradition.; title: At the end of this book, ‘Glossary’ and ‘Appendix’ have been given; title: which will help the veterinary graduates in preparing for various; title: competitive examinations, viva-voce examinations and interviews; title: because these have been collected and arranged in a very lucid manner.; title: The author encourages constructive comments and valuable; title: suggestions, addition, alteration and correction for any typing error; title: for improving this book in the next edition.; title: PRADEEP KUMAR; title: x; title: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; title: “Timely help albeit small will ever be greater than the universe.; title: I would like to thank all known and unknown hands who directly or; title: indirectly gave their valuable contributions in gestation and birth of; title: this book.; title: In preparing this book, I have been greatly aided by suggestions; title: received from many scientists including Dr. M.H. Akhtar, Dr. M.R.; title: Ansari, Dr. R.P. Pandey, Dr. G.P. Roy, Dr. A.P. Singh and Dr. C.; title: Singh.; title: “One who directs the path of progress is angelic.” Words are; title: inadequate to express my deep sense of indebtedness to Dr. G.P.; title: Roy, for instilling in me a spirit of hope, struggle, determination and; title: affection.; title: I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr. Jitendra; title: Kumar Singh for giving ideas to the use of homoeopathic drugs in; title: bovines.; title: I am extremely delighted in extending my thanks to Dr. Rahul Arya,; title: Dr. Neeraj Srivastava, Dr. V.K.

I admit my; title: inability to put into words, the depth of gratitude and respect. I owe; title: a lot to my Parents for the sacrifices made by them at the cost of their; title: comfort and happiness to bring me up to this stage.; title: Last but not the least, I thank the Almighty for blessing me with; title: indomitable will-power, courage, strength and stamina to accomplish; title: this arduous task.; title: xi; title: CONTENTS; title: Preface; title: Acknowledgments; title: PART – I : GYNAECOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS; title: 1.
