Abstract

The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of plant herbs and herbal formulation in post-partum true anestrous graded Murrah buffalos (n=30). Group I (n=10) buffaloes were fed with regular requirement of green fodder supplemented with Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) and Drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera). While, Group II buffaloes were treated with herbal formulation (3 capsules orally for two consecutive days) and repeated after 10 days on the 11^th and 12^th day, whereas Group III (n=10) buffaloes were kept as untreated controls. Overall estrus induction and conception rate was found to be higher in Group I buffaloes as compared to other groups. It was concluded from the present study that supplementation of Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) and Drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) in true anestrous buffaloes resulted in higher estrus induction and conception rate.
