A study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of herbal formulation in inducing ovulation in cows suffering from post parturientanoestrus. A total of 18 cows suffering from post partumanoestrus were selected for the purpose of study and allotted into three different groups. Group T0 (n=6) was kept as control and fed standard diet. Group T1 (n=6) was treated with AV/OIP/22 @ 200g once daily along with standard diet. Group T2 (n=6) was treated with Brand A @ 200g once daily along with standard basal diet. Parameters viz. time taken for exhibition of estrus, nature of discharge pre and post treatment and conception rate were evaluated. Results revealed that there was significant increase in the no. of animals that exhibited estrus in the AV/OIP/22 treated group as compared to control. The conception rate was also found to be significantly higher in the AV/OIP/22 treated group T1 as compared to Brand A treated group T2. Thus, it can be inferred that AV/OIP/22 nis highly effective in inducing ovulation in animals suffering from post partumanoestrus.
