Abstract
The present study was carried out to see the
efficacy of lugol's iodine for the initiation of
ovarian cyclicity in post-partum true anestrus
buffaloes. Confirmation of true anestrus in 30
buffaloes was done by finding smooth ovaries at
rectal examination, out of 30, 15 buffaloes was
treated with Lugol's iodine (1:50) ratio @ 30ml I/U
once only whereas, the remaining 15 buffaloes were
serve as control for treated group and no treatment
was given to such animals. The result for induction
of estrus was 73.34 %( 11/15) and the conception
rate was 53.33% (8/15). This result shows that there
are better possibilities of inducing ovarian
cyclicity in functionally anestrus buffaloes and its
cost effectiveness.
Keywords: smooth ovaries,
