Abstract

The buffalo subjected to doublesynch protocol in summer (n=20) and winter (n= 25) season were investigated for plasma Zn, Cu, Ca and P at the start of protocol and at AI. The pregnancy rate following protocol was 40% in summer and 48% in winter. In summer, plasma P was low (p<0.05) in buffaloes, irrespective of pregnancy status, as compared to winter season. However, plasma Zn, Cu and Ca had no variation between seasons (p>0.05). Plasma Zn, Cu and P were invariably high, both in pregnant and non-pregnant buffalo, at time of AI (p<0.05). In brief, plasma mineral profile was not apparently related to pregnancy outcome following doublesynch protocol in summer and winter season.
