ABSTRACT

his study was designed to determine conception rate in Kundhi buffaloes treated with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) after timed insemination and simultaneous treatment with or without gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH). A total 40 anestrus Kundhi buffaloes were randomly selected in the vicinity of Sindh Agricultural University, Tandojam and were divided in to 4 equal groups, each comprising of ten animals (n=10). Animals in group A, were injected intramuscularly with 2 ml Dalmazine, a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin PGF2α (2 ml Dalmazine = 0.150 mg cloprostenol, Fatro, Itly), on day 1 followed by the same treatment on day 11 with fixed time artificial insemination (72 h) after the 2nd dose of prostaglandin injection. In group B, same treatment as in group A but in addition gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) @2 ml of Dalmarelin (Lecirelin aetate Fatro, Itly), a synthetic analogue of GnRH was injected at the time of fixed time AI. In group C, same protocol as in group A, but with 2 ml of Dalmazine and 2 ml of Dalmarelin were injected simultaneously on day 11. In group D, animals were kept as control. The conception rate in group A, B, C and D was 20.2%, 30.3%, 30.3% and 10.1% respectively. The mean conception rate in treated group was higher (26.6%) than control (10.1%). It was concluded from the present study that a 16.6% increase in conception rate was achieved in anoestrus Kundhi buffalo through hormonal therapy in field condition.
