Abstract
Oestrus synchronization was undertaken in multiperous and cyclic
ten Non descript cows (Group-I) and twelve crossbred cows (Group-
II). All the animals were treated with two injections of Lutalyse
(Dinoprost thromithamine) 25 mg each intramuscularly at 11 days
apart. Out of 10, eight (80.00 percent) cows form Group-I and 12
(100.00 percent) cows from Group-II were responded to the
treatment. The interval for onset of oestrus was slightly
different in non descript cows than crossbred cows (54.50±2.60 Vs.
55-58± 3.28 hours). There was non-significant difference observed
for synchronized oestrus in Group-I and Group-II (21.25±0.881 Vs
20.83±0.814 hours). ln Group I the intensity of oestrus was
intense in 2(25.00 per cent) cows, intermediate in 4(50.00 per
cent) cows and weak in 2(25.00 per cent) cows. In Group-ll it was
intense in 5(41.67 per cent) and intermediate in 7(58.33 per cent)
cows.
