Abstract:
Anoestrus cannot be regarded as a disease but is rather a sign or a symptom of some suboptimal (e.g. management or nutrition) or pathological (e.g. chronic debilitating diseases or uterine and ovarian diseases) conditions. It is a functional disorder of reproductive cycle in cattle and buffalo which is characterized by absence of overt signs of estrus and also affecting the livestock enterprise to a great extent. Incidence of anestrous is more in buffalo than the cattle, and problem is severe during summer. This article reviews the etiology, types, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of anoestrous condition.
