Abstract

Out of dystocia affected Murrah buffaloes subjected to fetotomy operation (n=40), one group of 20 buffaloes
was administered a) Oxytocin (50IU I/M) immediately and 4h after fetotomy, b) Prostaglandin F2α (500μg I/M on
d7 and d21 postpartum), and c) GnRH (buserlin acetate @ 20μg I/M) on day 28 postpartum. The second group
of 20 animals subjected to fetotomy were not administered any test medication. The third group consisting of
10 normally calving buffalo served as control. The buffaloes of frist group had improved uterine health, ovarian
rebound and became pregnant in lesser time than others. In brief, administration of ecbolics and GnRH in early
postpartum period hastens uterine involution and improves reproductive efficiency of dystocia affected buffaloes.
