    SUPEROVULATION, NON-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND EMBRYO TRANSFER IN THE WATER BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MOTWANI, KISHORE T.; Kodagali, S. B.
    Embryo transfer in dairy cattle is a tool to produce large number of high quality seed stock and to multiply the most desirable genotype. The present study was an attempt to adopt the standard superovulatory region, non-surgical recovery and embryo transfer technique of cattle to the water buffaloes. The experimental animals comprised of high yielding six Surti breed and six Mehsani breed buffaloes to serve as potential donors and five Surti breed buffaloes as recipients. The study was undertaken during the period from February to May, 1985 (summer).

    STUDIES ON REPEAT BREEDING CONDITION IN CROSSBRED (K x J AND K x HF) CATTLE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CERVICAL MUCUS
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MEHTA, GHANASHYAM B.; KODAGALI, S. B.
    The present study was undertaken with a view to elucidate some of the etiological factors involved in repeat breeding conditions in crossbred cattle with reference to cervical mucus content and change in its physical properties and suggest therapeutic measures. Detailed gynaecological examinations of a total of 38 repeating crossbred animals showed 23.68 per cent genital abnormalities with maximum 10.52 per cent disorders were found to be of cervix.

    STUDIES ON SEMINAL CHARACTERISTICS, BIOCHEMICAL AND ENZYMATIC CONSTITUENTS, FREEZABILITY, ENZYME LEAKAGE AND FERTILITY IN SURTI BUFFALO BULLS
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) DHAMI, A. J.; KODAGALI, S. B.
    The present investigation was undertaken on four Surti Buffalo bulls during a period of one year (wet, hot & cold seasons), at the Department of Veterinary Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Gujarat Veterinary College, Anand. The studies included evaluation of seminal characters, assay of biochemical & systematic constituents, freezability, efficacy of different extenders, leakage of enzymes, fertility and their correlations. The seasonal influence was also studied. Bulls were ranked, based on overall performance, semen characters, initial fructose, LDH activity, freezability and fertility. Two bulls could be grouped under excellent sexual function and two in normal sexual function. Libido and serving behaviour in these bulls were within normal limit.
