treated with Crest~(n = 8) the oestrous recovery was 87.5% (P < 0.01) in an average duration of2.142±0.508 days and in buffaloes
treated with Crestar"' in combination with Folligon"' the oestrous 'recovery was 87.5% (P < 0.01) in an average duration of
3.428±0.202 days indicating that both the treatments can be effectively used to induce oestrum in post-partum anoestrous buffaloes.
