Abstract
Embryonic mortality after
breeding was considered to be the major
cause for the reproductive failure.
Sreenan and Disken (1985) obsen/ed
that 40 percent of the fertilized ova were
lost due to embryonic mortality. It has
been inferred that the spontaneously
occuring asynchrony between the
embryo and metemal enviomment was
the prime cause for the embryonic
mortality. Maurer and Echtemkamp
1982) Measures commonly practiced to
achieve and maintain “Meternal
synchrony" are administration of either
progesterone or luteinizing hormone.
Hence in the present study repeat
breeding cows were subjected to
progesterone therapyand the efficacy of
the therapy is discussed.
