Objective:The present study was designed to assess the
therapeutic efficacy of Randia
dumetorum, Tinospora cordifolia and commercial herbal medicine (Prajana HS, Indian Herbs Overseas) for induction of
cyclicity in anoestrus buffalo heifers.
Materials and Methods:Fourty eight anoestrus buffalo heifers were examined and
redistributed into six groups (G0, G1, G2, G3,
G4 and G5)
and each comprising of eight (n=8) animals. Untreated anoestrus animals (G0)
and cyclic animals (G6) were kept as an anoestrus control and cyclic control, respectively. Group
G1 was supplemented with the mineral
mixture, while G2, G3, G4,and G5
groups were treated with Prajana HS, Randia
dumetorum, Tinospora cordifolia, and the combination of Randia dumetorum and Tinospora cordifolia,
respectively along with supplementation of mineral mixture.
Results: Overall estrus induction and conception rate were
recorded as 50 % and 75 % in mineral mixture (G1), 75 and 83.33 % in
Prajana HS (G2), 87.50 % and
85.71 % in Randia dumetorum (G3),
62.5% and 80% in Tinospora cordifolia (G4), and 87.5% and 85.71% in Randia dumetorum and Tinospora cordifolia combination (G5)
whereas none of heifers were exhibited estrus symptom in untreated anoestrus
control group.
Conclusion:
On the basis of Overall estrus induction, conception
rate and hematological parameters concluded that Randia dumetorum and Tinospora
cordifolia combination have an effective
roll in the treatment of anoestrus buffalo heifers. Ethnoveterinary medicines can be utilized as low-cost therapeutic management for control of
