Abstract:
The study was conceptualized to perceive the status of the hormones progesterone (P4) and kisspeptin (Kp) was conducted throughout one complete estrous cycle in six ovulating buffaloes and similarly replicated over the period of three weeks in six anestrus buffaloes. In the ovulating buffaloes, while serum progesterone (P₄) concentration differed significantly and serum Kp quantification (ng/ml) did not show any significant difference, the respective concentration of both these hormones were depressed. Plausibly, though serum P₄ & Kp values were statistically non-significantly during the collection period, their concentration were substantially higher in the anovulatory buffaloes.
