Abstract

The present research study was conducted for detection of estrus and changes of vaginal resistance during
different phase of estrus cycle and pregnancy with the help of electronic probe 'DRAMINSKI' heat detector in cows
and heifer after the treatment of PGF 2., • The result revealed that in cows the mean vaginal electric resistance
(VER) was significantly low (230 W) during estrus, than proestrus (295 W), metestrus (262 W) and diestrus/
pregnancy ( 260 W) ( P < 0.01). Also in heifers, the mean VER was significantly low (222.5 W) in estrus than
proestrus (261.25 W), meteslrus (274.5 W) and diestrus/ pregnancy (264.62 W) (P < 0.01). There ls no significant
differences between cows and heifers in VER of different phases of estrus cycle and pregnancy period.
