Abstract

A study was designed to evaluate the effect of Prostaglandins(PG)F2α (Cloprostenol) and oxytocin on postpartum anestrus and uterine involution of Kundhi buffaloes. Total 30 multiparous Kundhi buffaloes of similar parity from potential farm in the vicinity of Tandojam city were selected. These animals were divided into three groups i.e. I, II and III having 10 numbers of animals in each group. The buffaloes of group I were treated with 2ml of PGF2α (0.150 mg Cloprostenol) intramuscularly , the buffaloes of group II was given 2ml of oxytocin (100 I.U.) intramuscularly and the buffaloes group III were treated as control group and administered 2ml of normal saline intramuscularly immediately after starting of labor pains. The time required for expulsion of fetal membranes, uterine involution and occurrence of first postpartum estrus were recorded in all groups. Significantly (p
