Abstract:
Forty four repeat breeder buffaloes were classified into infectious (n=20) and non-infectious (n=14) groups based on the result of white side test. . Ten buffaloes were kept as control (Group V). The infectious buffaloes Group I received Exapar-N® 100 ml, Janova® and Mintrus® and Group II Exapar-N® 50 ml, Janova® and Mintrus®. The non-infectious buffaloes Group III received GnRH 10μg post AI and Group IV GnRH 10μg post AI + GnRH 10μg post insemination. The color of estrual mucus in repeat breeder buffaloes was 23.27% transparent, 38.63% translucent and 34.09% whitish. 36.36%, 43.18% and 20.45% of repeat breeder buffaloes were having thick, viscous and thin consistency of estrual mucus. The mean pH value was 8.45±0.10 in infectious and 7.37±0.04 in non-infectious repeat breeder buffaloes. The arborization pattern in repeat breeder buffaloes was 32.00% typical, 54.00% atypical and 14.00% nil type. Out of 44 repeat breeder buffaloes, 45.45% showed positive and 54.54% negative result for sub-clinical metritis through white side test. Conception rate in buffaloes is more when cervico-vaginal mucus on the day of estrus is transparent, viscous, with typical fern pattern, spinnbarkeit value more than 10 cm and pH ranges 7-8.
