Abstract:
The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of EVP in managing infertility in cattle. A total of 351 cows belong to HF and Jersey hybrids between 2 to 7 years of age were included in this study with the history of infertility. Each animal in the study group was given sequential administration of Raphanus sativus, Aloe vera, Moringa oleifera, Cissuss quadrangularis and Murraya koenigii and curcuma longa for a period of 20 days. Thirty one cows were treated once, 95 of them were treated 2 times and 225 of them are treated 3 times. Research findings indicate that 323 (92.0%) out of 351 cows were conceived after providing treatment with EVP. The conception rate was 35.5% for single treatment, 95.79% for 2 treatments and 98.22% for 3 repeated EVP therapies. The average cost of treatment of infertility with EVP is Rs. 343 while the conventional treatment cost is Rs.3544. There is huge economic loss to farmers due to infertility and therefore, there are immense opportunities for transferring this technology among dairy farmers.
