study was to evaluate mean time interval for exhibition of oestrus, duration of oestrus, conception rate and biochemical changes of
serum total protein and serum cholesterol before and after treatment and in control groups . It was observed that the efficacy of PGF2
alpha for synchronization was 50 percent by IM route, 75 percent by IVSM route. The efficacy of progesterone and PMSG was 60
percent. The conception rate 60.0, 66.67 and 50.0 percent in group I, II and III, respectively. Serum total protein did not show
appreciable change in treatment and control groups both before and after treatment. However, the serum cholesterol level was found
