Abstract:
This experiment was conducted in 24 postpartum buffaloes. The experimental buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups, each comprising 12 animals (n=12). Animals of group-I were administered Buserelin acetate (20μg) intramuscularly at day 0, followed by Cloprostenol (500μg) intramuscularly on day 7 and same dose of second GnRH on day 9. However, in group-II all treatment was similar to group-I along with supplementation of Murraya koenigii (Curry leaf) (@ 20.75 g/100 kg body Wt.) and Aegle marmelos (Bael leaf) (@ 26.60 g/100 kg body Wt.) powder from day 0 to 6. The timed artificial insemination was performed at 12 and 24 hrs. After second GnRH injection in both the groups. Based on the intensity of the oestrus signs observed during fixed time artificial insemination the oestrus synchronization was graded as excellent, good, fair, poor and nil. The results revealed better grades of oestrus synchronization in leaves supplemented Ov-synch protocol as compared to the original Ov-synch, and comparatively high conception was recorded in curry leaf and bael leaf powder supplemented Ov-synch group than only Ov-synch group.
