Abstract
The study was envisaged with the objectives to assess the effect of
feeding bael and curry leaves either alone or in combination on the estrus
response and the time interval from the last day of treatment to the day on
onset of estrus and conception rate after treatment. The effect was also seen
on the blood serum level of phosphorus, magnesium, copper, calcium and
cholesterol
The study was conducted on 24 anestrus cows which were selected on
the basis of history of an animal suggested failure to exhibit estrus 60 days
or more postpartum and animals with smooth and quiescent ovaries and
without any pathological abnormalities.
The selected cows were allotted to four groups containing 6 animals in
each group. Different doses of prepared powder of curry and bael leaves
were fed orally to the different treated groups for 9 days.
Group I was the control group where animals were not given any
medication and the animals in group II were fed curry powder at the dose
rate of 400mg/kg body weight and animals of group III were given bael
leaves powder at the dose rate of 500mg/kg of body weight and animals of
group IV were fed combination of both curry and bael leaves powder at dose
rate of 200mg/kg and 250mg/kg of body weight for 9 days.
