Abstract:
The study was conducted to determine the effect of herbal preparations as a therapy for repeat breeding syndrome in 24 buffaloes. White side test was carried out to check the possibility of sub-clinical genital infection in these animals. The repeat breeder buffaloes which were found to be positive for White side test were divided randomly into two equal groups (n=07)and control group (n=10). The infectious buffaloes Group I received Exapar-N^® 100 ml, Janova^® and Mintrus^® and Group II Exapar-N^® 50 ml, Janova^® and Mintrus^®.The Vaginal Electrical Resistance (VER) values of pregnant (242±6.27) and non-pregnant buffaloes (262.04±7.07) differ significantly (P<0.05). The color of estrual mucus in repeat breeder buffaloes was 23.27% transparent, 38.63% translucent and 34.09% whitish. 36.36%, 43.18% and 20.45% of repeat breeder buffaloes were having thick, viscous and thin consistency of estrual mucus. The mean pH value was 8.45±0.10 in infectious repeat breeder buffaloes.Cytology of uterine lavage revealed that, herbal uterine cleanser and restorative preparation (Exapar-N^®) is efficacious in reducing the uterine infection.Out of 7 repeat breeder buffaloes 57.14% conceived with 2.43 services per conception in group I while, 14.28% conceived with 3 services per conception in group II
