Integrated technique of buffalo fertility management in Nepal by Bhuminand Devkota, Shatrughan Shah, Gokarna Gautam

“…Among several factors compromising the treatment response of anestrus buffaloes in terms of pregnancy outcome, poor body condition score, sub-normal levels of some blood metabolic parameters, and gastrointestinal parasitic infection are more common. Putting together all those information, we developed an integrated technique of buffalo fertility management that includes anthelmintic treatment at least one month prior to the initiation of specific timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol and nutritional management by means of providing vitamin–mineral supplementation in addition to improving the roughage supply and energy-protein content in the ration soon after anthelmintic treatment until two weeks after AI. …”
