Abstract:
The current study uses Aegal marmelos (Bael) and Murraya koenigii (curry) to induce estrus in anestrus cattle and evaluate fertility performance. Selected cows are divided into 4 groups of 6 animals each, all of whom have smooth, dormant ovaries and no pathological conditions or a history of anestrus. Different doses of prepared curry powder at a dose rate of 400 mg/Kg, bael at a dose rate of 500 mg/Kg, and their combination at 200 mg/Kg of curry and 250 mg/kg of bael supplied orally for nine days. The combination of both Murraya and Aegal showed higher results in estrus induction, estrus grading, and also enhanced biochemical profile which is crucial for the fertility of cattle. It was discovered that combination treatment shows 83.33% of estrus induction followed by the 50% and 66.67% by other groups respectively.
