Luteolytic Effects Of Two Types Of Prostaglandin (Lutalyse And Fenprostalene) For Synchronization Of Estrus In Postpartum Buffalo Cows

Abstract

Thirty cyclic water buffaloes were assigned to two types of PGF₂ alpha (Fenprostalene and lutalyze) for estrus synchronization. All animals were given two injections of the PGF₂ alpha 11 days apart (lmg fenprostalene or 25mg lutalyze per injection).Results indicated that there were no significant
difference in the luteolytic potency of the two types of PGF₂ alpha tested (100% response). All animals came on estrus 3 to 4 days after given either of the two types of prostaglandin. Among the ten symptoms of estus monitored, swollen vulva and mucus discharge were found to be expressed by all the buffaloes. The least common symption is licking other buffaloes which was never expressed by any of the animals.
