Abstract

The study was aimed to assess the effect of Aegle marmelos (Indian Bael),  Oophorinum and Progesterone on serum calcium, phosphorus and fertility  outcomes. A total of 24 postpartum anestrous buffaloes were randomly allocated  in 4 groups as T0, T1, T2 and T3; each group comprised of six animals. All the  animals were dewormed with fenbendazole (10mg/kg) before commencement of  experiment. The T0 (untreated control) buffaloes were supplemented with mineral  mixture (50 gm daily for 10 days). In addition to mineral mixture, the T1, T2 and  T3 buffaloes were treated with Aegle marmelos, Oophorinum and progesterone  hormone, respectively. The serum calcium and phosphorus values was significantly  (P<0.05) increased after therapy in Oophorinum treated buffaloes as compared  to other groups. The estrus induction response was 50, 100 and 33.33% in Aegle  marmelos, Oophorinum and Progesterone treated groups, respectively. Among  responded animals, the overall conception rate after three inseminations was 0,  66.66, 83.33 and 100%, respectively for T0, T1, T2 and T3 groups. In conclusion,  herbal and homoeopathic therapeutics can be used effectively to manage clinical  syndrome of post-partum anestrus in Buffaloes.
