Effect of used CIDR and vitamin-E and selenium supplementation in treatment of postpartum anestrus buffaloes

Abstract

This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of used CIDR and vitamin-E-Selenium in treatment of postpartum anestrus buffaloes. A total of 12 postpartum anestrus buffaloes were equally divided into two groups and were treated with used CIDR protocol along with vitamin E and Selenium supplement. Estrus induction response was 66.66% and 83.33% in two groups. Average time required for onset of estrus was 51.83± 16.84h and 62.66± 12.95h, respectively and average duration of estrus was 13.83± 4.53h and 16.50± 3.51h, respectively with no significant difference between groups. The estrus was intense in 0.00% and 20.00%, intermediate in 75.00% and 60.00% and weak in 25.00% and 20.00% in Group II and III, respectively. In most of the animals, the intensity of estrus was intermediate. Most of the animals were having clean and thick cervico-vaginal mucus. The overall pregnancy rates observed in treatment groups were 33.33% and 66.66%, respectively.
