Abstract
The present study was designed to explore the effects of a new Herbal heat inducer in Mehsana buffaloes with postpartum true anestrus and consecutive changes in Blood haematological, Biochemical and Hormonal profile. All the buffaloes were orally supplemented with Herbal heat inducer mixture on (Jantana powder-10gm) 1st, (Metrali powder-20gm) 2nd and (Hitali-powder-500mg) 5th day for augmentation of oestrus. Out of total treated animals 10 animals expressed the signs of estrus within 30 days. Post-treatment analysis of the overall blood packed cell volume percent in conceiving buffaloes had a significant (p≤0.05) elevate. Overall blood plasma total cholesterol concentration (mg/dl) was found to be significantly (p≤0.001) elevated in all treated and both conceiving and non-conceiving buffaloes, respectively. Overall blood plasma progesterone concentration (ng/ml) was found to be significantly (p≤0.0001) and (p≤0.001) elevated in all treated and both conceived and non-conceived buffaloes, which indicate the positive favourable effect of all the drugs on postpartum true anestrus condition. However, Overall blood plasma tri-iodothyronine concentration (ng/ml) was found to be significantly (p≤0.001) and (p≤0.01) elevated in all treated and all conceived buffaloes. Findings of the present study revealed that strategic use of Indigenous herbal heat inducer in feed mixture may resolve the postpartum true anestrus problems in buffaloes.
