Ovsynch, Estrous synchronization, Conception rateAbstract
The present research was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of COX-2 inhibitor (flunixin meglumine) on
conception rate in estrous synchronized buffaloes. Twenty four subestrous buffaloes which were non-exhibiting
estrous symptom even 90 days after calving were randomly divided into two groups (n=12). The selected buffaloes
from both the groups were synchronized with Ovsynch protocol, while buffaloes from Group-II were additionally
administered with injection fluni.xin meglumine @ 1.1 mg /kg b. wt. intramuscularly on day 15 post insemination.
The first service conception rate was 41.66 and 66.66 per cent in Group-I and Group-II, respectively.
