Dystocia is defined as delayed or difficult calving, sometimes requiring significant human assistance. The levels of histamine in pregnancy were significantly different from those of non-pregnant animals. Also the histamine levels in advanced pregnancy were significantly lower than the animals with early or mid-pregnancy. So, the study was conducted to see meloxicam administration in dystocia affected bovines and its impact on release of histamine. Caesarean operated buffaloes which failed to survive following treatment had significantly (P<0.01) higher histamine concentration in their blood before surgery which further increased significantly by 2 hours post-surgery and remained significantly (P<0.05) higher than the survivors even up to 24 hours post treatment. Mean blood histamine levels were found to be higher in buffaloes which died later on than those which survived following treatment. Significantly (P<0.05) higher histamine concentration was observed in buffaloes undergoing caesarean operation as compared to those treated by non-surgical method.
