Postpartum acyclic surti buffaloes of an organized farm confirmed by twice per-rectal palpation 11 days apart from 45 days postpartum were treated with 5ml of inj. Buserelin acetate I/M route in first group (n=6) and 5ml of inj. Buserelin acetate I/M route along with 5 ml inj. Vit. AD3E preparation and 15 ml inj. Toldimphos sodium preparation I/M route in second group (n=6) on 55 days postpartum after confirmation of acyclicity. Keeping 6 animals of same status as control to see the oestrus induction response and conception rate including weekly evaluation of blood biochemical, metabolic and mineral profile, just before (0 day) treatment and 3 weeks after treatment (7th, 14th and 21st days post-treatment). The service period and oestrus induction interval in days was found significantly lower (p>0.05) in GnRH treated T1(71.17±4.42; 12.67±1.11 days) and T2 (70.83±3.80; 12.33±1.11 days) groups as compared to T3 (94.50±5.43; 30.75±3.95 days). Moreover, cent per cent conception rate in T1 (GnRH alone) and T2 (GnRH + Vit.+ P) groups as compared to 66.66 per cent conception rate in control groups, respectively might be under the influence of various treatments in period (45 to 120 days) with overall 88.89 per cent (16/18) conception rate. The overall mean serum glucose values in T1, T2 and Control (T3) groups were 63.63±1.91, 62.08±2.38 and 60.39±1.80 mg/dl, respectively. The overall serum glucose values did not differ significantly (p>0.05) in T1, T2 and T3 (Control) groups. Similarly, total protein (7.44±0.18, 7.74±0.47 and 7.28±0.16 g/dl), total cholesterol (120.37±3.11, 119.39±3.41 and 115.40±2.94 mg/dl), calcium (10.01±0.21, 10.19±0.17 and 10.04±0.05 mg/dl), phosphorus (5.96±0.20, 6.01±0.14 and 5.90±0.18 mg/dl) values did not differ significantly (p>0.05) in T1, T2 and T3 (Control) groups.

Keeping 6 animals of same status as control to see the oestrus induction response and conception rate including weekly evaluation of blood biochemical, metabolic and mineral profile, just before (0 day) treatment and 3 weeks after treatment (7th, 14th and 21st days post-treatment).
