Abstract
Aim:
This study
aims to study the estrus induction, ovulation, and conception rate
of delayed puberty in buffaloes heifers by feeding a herbal plants
Aegle marmelos (bael/bili/bhel leaf) and Murraya
koenigii (Curry leaf).
Materials and
Methods:
Totally, 24
buffalo heifers with delayed puberty were selected for the present
study and divided randomly in four equal groups (n=6). Before
experiment, all animals were dewormed with albendazole at 10 mg/kg
body weight to prevent them from the stress of parasitism. In the
present experiment, four group taken and Group I (n=6) treated
with A. marmelos, Group II (n=6) treated with M.
koenigii, Group III (n=6) treated with mixture of A.
marmelos and M. koenigii and fed for 9 days. Group IV
(n=6) considered as control and fed with concentrate only. The
blood samples were collected from all the animals on day 0 (before
treatment), 4, 9 (during treatment), on the day of estrus and day
8 after the onset of estrus. The 10 ml blood was collected from
the jugular vein of all the experimental animals for estimation of
serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and progesterone (P4).
The estrus response, ovulation, conception rate along with serum
calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and progesterone level were
determined by the standard protocol.
Results:
From Group III
4 heifers, from Group II 3 heifers, and from Group I and IV
(Control) 2 heifers each, exhibited the estrus. The estrus
response was recorded as 33.33%, 50.00%, 75.00%, and 33.33% in
Group I, Group II, Group III, and Group IV, respectively. In
treatment Group III, serum calcium found significantly more
(p<0.05) on day 8 post-estrus as compared to other groups at a
similar interval. Inorganic phosphorus and progesterone show no
significant difference between groups. The ovulation and
conception rates are comparatively better in Group III (75%)
buffalo heifers than other groups.
Conclusion:
Herbal
supplementation of A. marmelos and M. koenigii in
combination, as well as M. koenigii alone, were found effective in
fertility improvement in delayed pubertal buffalo heifers by
increasing ovulation and conception rate.
