Ovarian response after treatment with herbal estrus inducer and trace mineral supplement in postpartum anestrous in crossbreed cows.

The current study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of herbal estrus inducer products on post partum anestrous cows. 18 experimental crossbreed cows were selected on the basis of clinical signs, history, rectal palpation & ultrasonography at organized university farm, Nagpur Veterinary College (MS). Cows were randomly divided into three groups. Group T0 (control, n=6) not given any treatment. Group T1 (n=6) treated with Estrofarm powder @7.5g/day for two days along with trace mineral supplement Mintrus tablets @1tab./day daily for twenty days orally. Group T2 (n=6) treated with Prajana capsule @3cap./day for two days along with trace mineral supplement tablets CoFeCu @1tab./day daily for twenty days orally. Parameters viz. estrous response, number of treatments required, duration of estrus, time of onset of estrus, nature of discharge, number of (AI) Artificial Insemination required, conception rate, pattern of follicular development were studied during the trail. Analysis of results revealed that, in Group T1 (treated with Estrofarm powder and Mintrus tablets) had improved estrous response, duration of estrus, time of onset of estrus, conception rate and size of the follicle followed by Group T2 (Prajana capsule and CoFeCu tablets) and control Group T0. Also for estrus response required treatment dose and number of AI dose required for conception reduced in Group T1 followed by Group T2 and control Group T0.
