Effect of Janova, Sepia and Ovsynch Protocol on Blood Biochemical Profile and Fertility in Postpartum Anoestrus Cows

Abstract

Background: Anoestrus is still one of the most prevalent reproductive disorders in dairy cows despite technological advances in animal husbandry. Evaluation of blood biochemical profile is of diagnostic value to determine disease or health status of animal. The current study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different therapeutic regimen on blood biochemical profile, oestrus induction response and conception rate of anoestrus cows.Methods: Thirty two postpartum anoestrus cows randomly allocated to four groups as G0 (negative control), GI, GII, GIII, GIV and 8 normal cyclic as GV (positive control). Dewormer and mineral mixture administered to GI, GII, GIII, GIV while group GII, GIII and GIV additionally received janova, sepia and Ovsynch protocol respectively.Result: Different therapeutic protocols have variable effects on blood biochemical parameters. Overall oestrus induction response in G0, GI, GII, GIII, GIV and GV is 0.00, 50, 62.5, 75, 87.5 and 100.00 per cent respectively with corresponding conception rate of 0.00, 75, 80, 66.66, 57.13 and 75.00 per cent. On the basis of findings it can be concluded that aforesaid therapeutic regimens have definite bearings on fertility and can be used to manage postpartum anoestrus in cows.

​Evaluation of Estrona Powder as Estrus Inducer in Anestrus Buffaloes under Field Conditions

“…Our results indicate similar estrus induction rate, whereas lower conception rate. The lower conception rate in our study might be due to first service conception rate against three service (AI) conception rate parameter used by Kumar et al (2021). In earlier studies different herbal seeds, preparations and combinations were tried and reported 50 to 87% estrus indication response in bovines (Despande et al, 2000;Pugashetti et al 2009;Srivastava et al, 2003;Sahatpure et al, 2016).…”

“…Moreover, estrus response was observed within 15 days in 83% (15/18) animals, while 17% (3/18) animals showed estrus within 19 to 23 days after treatment. Kumar et al (2021) observed that polyherbal preparation with mineral mix could induce estrus with higher conception rate than the hormonal treatment alone in anestrous cows and reported 60% estrus induction and 80% conception rates. Our results indicate similar estrus induction rate, whereas lower conception rate.…”

“…Our study is in line with the previous studies where conception rate in buffaloes was reported from 40 to 80%. (Ravikumar et al, 2007;Pugashetti et al, 2009;Kumar et al, 2021).…”

“…Herbal medicines like Janova, Sepia, polyherbal drugs, herbal seeds (Dill /Suva /Fenugreek /Black paper seed/Black seed/Common grass etc.) were tried (Prajapati et al, 2018;Mane et al, 2018;Kumar et al, 2021) and demonstrated successful induction of estrus in cattle and buffaloes. The preparation of herbal origin is known to be indigenous/tradition medicine, mostly cost effective and without any side effect.…”

Current status of assisted reproductive technologies in buffaloes

“…Hormonal interventions have been developed to control ovarian dynamics and allow the use of AI without heat detection. & Fahmy, 2007;Atabay et al, 2019;Bartolomeu et al, 2002;Berber et al, 2001;Campanile et al, 2005;De Araujo Berber et al, 2002;Derar et al, 2012;Francillo et al, 2005;Hoque et al, 2014;Liang et al, 2007;Neglia et al, 2003;Presicce et al, 2004;Ravikumar et al, 2009;Sathiamoorthy et al, 2007;Sianturi et al, 2012 Ovsynch + FTAI 12 and 24 h after 2nd GnRH -18.0-59 Akhtar et al, 2013;Camelo et al, 2002;Chaikhun, Tharasanit, & Rattanatep, 2010;Karen & Darwish, 2010 Presynch…”
