Abstract

Herbal therapies are preferred for treatment of anestrus due to their cheap, safe and efficiency
with easy availability. Delayed maturity is the most common reproductive complaint in native descript
heifers. Eighteen Deoni heifers were selected for treatment of delayed maturity with herbal heat inducer
powder on the basis of gynaeco-clinical examinations. 75.00 per cent heifers responded for the treatment
with ovulatory, intermediate type of estrus and six animals conceived with 1.33 services per conception
as against nil response in control group. Estimation of haemoglobin, serum protein, serum copper,
serum cobalt and serum iron levels revealed significantly higher increase in treatment group. It was
concluded that herbal therapy can efficiently induce fertile estrus in delayed cases of maturity in deoni
heifers.
