INDUCTION OF POST PARTUM OESTRUS WITH HERBAL UTERINE CLEANSER AND OESTRUS STIMULATORY DRUG COMBINATION IN DEONI COWS

Abstract

Present investigation was carried out in post partum anoestrus Deoni cows maintained on an
organized farm. Cows after 75 days of calving with good health status were confirmed clinically as
anoestrus and were included in the present study. Twelve cows were treated with herbal uterine cleanser
@ 100 ml drench per day for three days in treatment group with ten days supplementation of two
tablets of haematinic minerals daily. The treatment group animals also received herbal heat inducer
powder@ 3 gm per 100 kg body weight for three days. Animals from control group were maintained as
per routine schedule without treatment. It was observed that 83.33 per cent cows responded within
5.40 ± 2.49 days of treatment and 66.67 per cent animals conceived with 1.63 services per conception
as against nil response in control group. Serum blood biochemicals revealed significant increase in
haemoglobin, copper, cobalt and iron levels. However, protein levels showed inconsistent results
